If you have any specific questions you would like us to cover or have any feedback, please let us know by simply replying to this message or email our support staff at support@dmds.com.

Stream Albums & Videos from DMDS Notifications

Would you like to listen to an album or watch the video that was sent to you on DMDS without having to log in to your DMDS Library? Now you can. Just click the ‘Play Now’ button in your DMDS notification, if the sender has enabled this option, and you’ll be streaming the audio or video in your web browser.

Comments & Approvals

Comments & Approvals is a completely private method in which the recipient of a release can communicate with the sender, within the DMDS website.

Here are just a few examples of how Comments & Approvals can be utilized:

• A single sent to radio has been added for airplay
• A broadcast video has not met technical requirements and adjustments need to be made
• A television station has questions about their traffic instructions for a specific advertising flight

These comments will be completely private and only visible within the sender’s organization.

Web Based Video Downloads

You can now directly download MPG formatted videos from the DMDS website. These files are ideal for organizations or teams that do not require the full broadcast quality version of the file (i.e. for DVD, online playback, etc.).

Click the 'MPG WWW' button to download the video via your web browser (quality of file may vary between 8-15 mbit depending on the source material provided by the uploader).

While this improvement allows you to download the video in one mouse click, the DMDS App is still the only way to download if you’re looking for faster download speeds or you need the 50mbit IMX (in an MXF OP1a container) file.
