The team at OneCodec are almost ready to launch our new product, Beamshare. Beamshare is software for the PC or Mac that lets you share videos privately and directly with people you choose. It works with any video file and you choose who gets to see each video. We're using our unique technology to make sure that every video plays back successfully, no matter what the format. Our launch website is about to go live. If you'd like to sign up as a Beta user, visit the website, register and we'll send you an invite soon. Visit the website: http://beamshare.net
