FILMMATES HOME VIDEO ENTERTAINMENT

SMARTMARKS FILMS FOR INTERNATIONAL DISTRIBUTION

(Old Lyme, CT – January 09, 2006) – FilmMates Home Video Entertainment will be using USA Video Interactive Corp. (OTCBB: USVO; TSX: US; BSE/Frankfurt: USF) SmartMark™ anti-piracy technology to protect its films for distribution.  FilmMates recently entered into a home video distribution agreement with Vivendi Universal Visual Entertainment, a wholly owned subsidiary of Universal Music Group.

American Reunion, Living Life, and Rent Control are the first three films scheduled for distribution.  These three films will be made available for home video in early spring 2006, with distribution scheduled for the U.S., Puerto Rico, and Canada.  In addition, FilmMates’ Sherlock a Case of Evil will be SmartMarked for Internet and home video distribution in Japan.

“Taking appropriate precautions to protect our content is instrumental with so many options of delivery available and the potential problems of piracy rampant,” said Jay Malla, Senior Vice President of Distribution and Business Strategy, FilmMates Entertainment.  “SmartMarking our films before distribution sends a message our company will monitor how our content is sold and distributed.”

“SmartMark technology is making a difference for copyright owners that want to realize profits on films distributed to the domestic and international markets,” said Edwin Molina, President of USVO. “It is great to know that we are helping FilmMates and Vivendi Universal retain the value generated as they distribute their content throughout the world.”

USVO’s SmartMarks™ are invisible, unremovable, forensic "digital watermarks" embedded in every video frame to protect digital video from piracy. SmartMarks work with existing production and distribution technology to protect copyrighted material without requiring new equipment in the distribution or playback environment.  Like embedding a forensics team inside video content, SmartMarks give enforcement agencies the proof they need to stop piracy.

The films will be SmartMarked at Lightning Media’s facility in Hollywood, California, using USVO's MediaSentinel Workstation. Lightning Media is a post-production company and a Certified SmartMark Anti-Piracy Provider.
