The largest video service in Russia with full-length content ivi.ru has been launched.
The largest investment fund Runet ru-Net Ltd. launches ivi.ru project - Russia's largest video service of full-length legal content. The creators of the project have relied precisely on ease of use and free access to a huge catalog of movies, TV shows, TV shows and cartoons.
The service has already signed deals to acquire rights to show popular TV shows, movies and TV programs from major rightholders, including TNT, STS, MTV, MUZ-TV, STREAM, Central Partnership and Amedia, TV studios SOYUZMULTFILM and 2B Studio, international TV channels World Fashion Channel and BBC, as well as many other companies. All in all, licensing agreements have been signed with more than a hundred copyright holders.
Already on the site are available such films as " Vicky Cristina Barcelona ", " Taras Bulba ", " Bride at any price ", " Down House ", " Top ." From popular TV shows there are “ Barvikha ”, “ Doctor Zhivago ”, “Master and Margarita”, “ Elimination ”, “ Happy Tree Friends ”. Of course there is “ Comedy Club ”, “ Our Russia ”, “ Jumble ”, for women there are channels about cooking and fashion , for men - about fishing and cars . Despite the fact that the current catalog of ivi.ru already has thousands of pieces of content, several hundred movies, TV shows and programs will be added every week. And by the way, all the classics of Soviet animation will be available on ivi.ru, for example, “Well, wait a minute!”, “ Prostokvashino ”, “Cheburashka and Crocodile Gena”, as well as the largest licensed anime catalog in Russia (Hellsing, “Ghost in armor "," Lord of ghosts "and many others).

All site content is completely free and will work on the advertising model of monetization. Sales of advertising opportunities and marketing of the project are carried out by Digital Access , a company specializing in video content aggregation and video advertising sales on the Internet.
While the site is available only to users from Russia, but soon the geography of the project will be expanded.
I have no viewing rights, why not watch videos from outside Russia?
Gradually, we will open content to other countries. You need to understand that content rights are acquired for broadcast in certain regions. In this regard, it is somewhat easier to work with services that do not need to report to the right holders and deduct money to them, because they can work in any region.
We also really want it to be convenient for everyone and at once. Honestly, I know perfectly well how Russian-speaking people outside Russia want to watch Russian-language content. We do everything for this.
Why so few videos?
In total, there are now over 9,000 hours of movies / serials / broadcasts. Hundreds of new commercials will be posted each week. I am sure that among them will be those that interest you. We are constantly expanding the catalog.
I understand correctly that the video goes via flash (not silverlight and not html5)?
Yes, the broadcast goes through Flash.
It would be nice to have a short description of the movie, well, or links to the description are valid for film search, and it would be nice to fasten the rating to IMDb
Thanks, be sure to do it all!
And the news will be there?
It depends on what to call new. If the films that are now going to the cinema - it is unlikely, you know. Believe me, the whole ivi team does not sleep at night, so that everyone is comfortable and interesting.
I understand correctly that users will not receive the original sound for the films for any reason of licensing?
The original sound will be.
Will it support HTML5?
About HTML5 is not ready to answer 100%. I prefer to do first and then speak.
Will there be HD?
It will be necessary.
