SANTA ANA, CA --(April
3, 2000)--Digital Media Online (http://www.digitalmedianet.com/), the
leading developer of B2B vertical online communities for the digital
media market, has entered into an exclusive agreement with the DVD Association
(www.dvda.org) to incorporate the
DVD Association site into the DigitalMediaNet.com communities.
"As the first in a series of cooperative programs with industry associations,
the DVD Association strengthens our commitment to the industry and shows
our desire to provide our community members with the resources they
need," said Michael Skerly, president of Digital Media Online.
The DVD Association will be the official association sponsor of www.DVDCreation.com.
DVDCreation.com is the premier Web site for professional content creators
using DVD format as their final output medium. The DVD Association represents
the largest, most influential group of Interactive Digital Media developers

need constant daily updating. Our association did not have those resources
available," said Paul Holmes, chief executive of the DVD
Association. "With this agreement, I think we have found an excellent
partner to help us provide an exciting Web site that is valuable to
both our members and the DVD industry in general."
