Overview

CustomFlix now supports Amazon Unbox - a new digital video download service which allows customers to purchase and download high quality digital videos from Amazon.com.

Unbox is the only video download service to offer DVD-quality videos and the Unbox RemoteLoad™ feature, which allows customers to buy from one PC and download to another. Unbox customers can also stream their Unbox videos to their Microsoft Xbox 360 console to watch on their TV, or view these videos on compatible portable players.

How it Works

Amazon.com customers can purchase and rent videos from the Unbox store on the Amazon.com web site, and choose to download their videos to any Windows-compatible computer on which they've installed the Unbox video player. Customers may start watching a download before it is complete.

You may offer a title through either Unbox, or CustomFlix DVD on Demand, or both at the same time. You may also change these options in the future. For example, you could easily make a title that is currently only available through DVD on Demand also available on Unbox. Once your title is set up on either DVD on Demand or Unbox, there's no additional cost to add the other option.

To set up a title on Unbox, simply use your Member Account to add a new title and choose the Unbox option, or turn on the Unbox option for an existing title. For new titles, send us your video on either DVD-R (in DVD-Video format) or as a tape. We do not currently accept encoded Windows Media or other streaming format files.

Download to Own / Download to Rent

Amazon Unbox offers two options to customers: Download to Own and Download to Rent. You may choose to make a title available to customers through either or both options.

Customers purchasing a Download to Own title are able to watch that movie an unlimited number of times. Customers may download a video to their computers, and transfer that video to portable (e.g. hand-held) video devices, with certain content usage limitations set by Unbox. See the Amazon Unbox Terms of Use at the above link for more information about content usage rules on Unbox.

Customers who choose the Download to Rent option generally have a limited period of time during which they may view the video. See the Unbox FAQ at the above link for more information about Download to Rent on Unbox.

Pricing and Getting Paid for Downloads

You may suggest a list price for titles you wish to make available for Download to Own. As the retailer, Amazon.com sets the selling price of the title, both for Download to Own and Download to Rent.

You earn a royalty when Unbox customers rent or buy your Download to Own or Download to Rent titles. Your royalty is 50% of the purchase price (net of bad debt, any sales taxes, and certain refunds and credits).Please see your Services Agreement for further information about royalties for sales on Unbox.

"With new video download services like Amazon Unbox, audiences have grown to expect a variety of viewing options, and we're excited to be at the forefront of this new distribution channel through CustomFlix."

The Unbox sales report in your Member Account is updated on a monthly basis, and your payment for these sales occurs 60 days after the end of the month in which the sales were made instead of the 30 days for DVD on Demand.

Eligible Content

Download to Own titles must be at least 20 minutes long. Download to Own titles must meet all CustomFlix Content Guidelines. As noted in the Content Guidelines, Download to Rent titles must be at least 70 minutes long. We do not currently accept public domain material for Unbox.

Additional Artwork

To help prevent customer confusion when they are ordering on Unbox, you must supply format-neutral artwork for your Unbox titles through your Member Account. This artwork should not look like a product shot of an actual DVD or tape (meaning you should not be able to see that it's a picture of a DVD or tape case), and your image must not have the DVD logo on it.

Setup Timing and Removal

Once you set up your title in your Member Account, it takes 2 - 4 weeks to process and for your digital video title to be live in the Unbox store.
