Advertising agreement with top automaker strengthens NetDvD's market position for world-class video-on-demand solutions

Media and Entertainment.com, Inc. (OTCBB: MEDE), a provider of advanced digital video and audio solutions for the entertainment industry, announced today that it has entered into an agreement with Ford Motor Company's (NYSE: F) Land Rover, North America, Inc. to stream Internet commercials over Ford's Land Rover, North America, Inc. website. Media and Entertainment's proprietary software was chosen based on the superior scalability and performance of its flagship NetDvD software.

Working with Young & Rubicam, media representatives for Ford and Land Rover, Media and Entertainment.com will be utilizing its proprietary NetDvD software compression and encoding methodology to enable Land Rover's advertising campaigns to be streamed over the Internet. These full length commercials are currently accessible at Land Rover's website, www.landrover.com.

"We expect this to be the first in a growing series of mass media campaigns to be released in a multi-platform forum using our proprietary software as a launching pad," says Roger Paglia, CEO of Media & Entertainment. "NetDvD should prove to be a significant source of Media & Entertainment's revenues. We expect that growing numbers throughout the advertising/entertainment industry will appreciate how our state-of-the-art technology is allowing Range Rover's discriminating customers to view superb quality commercials at their leisure directly on the company's website. That should generate a lot of interest."

The announcement comes as Media & Entertainment prepares to roll out its intelligent file sharing software, Streamshare. "We are very excited about the revenue potential Streamshare should hold," explains Nana Yalley, CIO, Media & Entertainment. "We have taken the necessary precautions to ensure that owners of content will be protected while utilizing the best compression software in the industry.
