Dear Sirs:

We are general counsel to USA Video Interactive Corp. (the "Company"), a corporation continued under the laws of the State of Wyoming.  In such capacity, we have reviewed the Registration Statement of the Company on Form S-8 (the "Registration Statement") covering an aggregate of 13,900,000 common shares (each, a "Share") in the capital of the Company issuable under stock options to be granted pursuant to the Company's 2005 Stock Option Plan (the "2005 Plan").

We have examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction of the resolutions of the directors of the Company with respect to the matters herein.  We have also examined such statutes and public and corporate records of the Company, and have considered such questions of law as we have deemed relevant and necessary as a basis for the opinion expressed herein.  We have, for the purposes of this opinion, assumed the genuineness of all signatures examined by us, the authenticity of all documents and records submitted to us as originals and the conformity to all original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified, photostatic or facsimile copies.

Based upon and subject to the foregoing, and subject also to the qualifications hereinafter expressed, we are of the opinion that each Share to be issued by the Company and sold pursuant to the Registration Statement will be, when issued pursuant to the terms of the 2005 Plan, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
