With visions of a bold new market in resolution independence, Total Multimedia (TMM) and IBM joined together to market each other's related products.
Total Multimedia Inc. needed to have a player for Microsoft Windows to stay ahead of the CD/ROM market. Microsoft was buying up titles and the DOS application was becoming more difficult to use. Microsoft was limiting the ability to shell to dos and take advantage of the DOS environment. A windows VESA driver was added to the Softvideo player and a streamlined decompressor was added to help offset the Microsoft overhead. TMM Softvideo VDK Version 1.4
With TMMs migration to Windows and the interactivity becoming more important to the users TMM added key frame jump ability and window dragging capabilities. This allowed the Windows user to re-size the video inside a widow under Microsoft windows V 3.0. TMM also added support for stereo surround sound and analog audio types. This allowed for presentation to be built with audio overlays and Dolby audio. A VESA compliant DOS player was added and Microsoft Mime type added TMM Softvideo VDK Version 1.5
The CD/ROM market began to explode at this time and our first retail producer stations became available to the general public. At a cost of $ 50,000.00 dollars for a producer station the demand was very good and orders were being taken. Tom Simpson was working with Paramount and Spectrum Holobyte producing CD/ROM games such as "Falcon Gold F-16" and "Startrek Next Generation" as well as the "Art of the Kill'. These titles were top sellers and were being produced using the TMM production system. TMM was also the first company to receive a SONY CD/ROM mastering system that were hard to get and extremely expensive (Total Multimedia Inc. received serial number US-OOOOOI). This was an added incentive to purchase the TMM producer station because buyers received preferential treatment and one free master per title. Sony Electronics even asked to use TMM's mastering system as demand was so high that Sony Corporate had them in line with everyone else. Feedbaek from TMM customers were added to the software generating Softvideo Versions 2.4,2.5,2.6
In addition, the company worked to bring the new tools of multimedia to school systems. In 1993, TMM received a Blue Ribbon award from the US Department of Education for its work in bringing interactive learning tools to the classroom. TMM was responsible for wiring classrooms and developing multimedia content with the Hueneme School District.

| 1992 | |
Total Multimedia Inc. designed a hardware platform that could handle the speed required to capture video files without dropping frames. With the growing personal computer market consumers were being flooded with hardware and firmware from around the world with no quality assurance and no defacto standards on the firmware and controller sets built into the mother boards. Many of these systems would not interface with the different capture cards or hardware accelerators on the market. A special low level format had to be developed to allow for sequential writing to hard drives and removal of error correction on the video stream to allow the 600-700 KBS needed to maintain 30 FPS without frame dropping. These TMM producer stations were hand built and quality assured to capture 640 X 480 NTSC or PAL signals from any video source. After capture the TMM Producer would allow the video to be edited and used with Audio, test and graphics. CD/ROM mastering capabilities were added and resizing controls enabled. Softvideo release version 2.0
Fractal Image compression emerged with a major breakthrough by Iterated Systems Inc. The automatic fractal transform process eliminated the need for human intervention during compression as was the case in early experimentation with fractal compression technology. Barnsley's graduate student Arnaud Jacquin implements the first automated fractal algorithm.
11. Total Multimedia Inc. and Iterated Systems Inc. collaborated to bring fractal compression to video with TMMI providing specifications, expertise in digital video, and funding. The companies enter into a License Agreement whereby Total Multimedia Inc. holds the exclusive worldwide master license for fractal video compression and decompression algorithms. Development resulted in SoftVideo.
Iterated Systems Inc. signed a license agreement with Total Multimedia Inc. where Total Multimedia Inc. was delivered and accepted and paid in full for source code versions of VDK 1.0 to VDK 1.4 fractal video compression and are wholly owned property of Total Multimedia Inc.

MTT Visions was founded by Phillip Taylor Kramer and Tom Simpson as a privately-owned California Corporation. The Company develops, integrates, licenses and distributes video compression and decompression (codec) software for CD-ROM Publishers and Multimedia Developers.
MTT initial software development began with UVC corporations proprietary software based on the 7710 hardware teleconferencing communications board in 1990. Initial configuration consisted of CD-ROM handling package from Sinano-Kenski utilizing the DOS 3.0 MSCDEX instructions integrated with the UVC hardware board. This beta version delivered 30 FPS (frames per second) video from CD/ROM at 130-135 KBS (kilobytes per second) with maximum of 150 KBS. MTT BETA TALMUVC 1.0
First public demonstration was delivered at the Microsoft Multimedia show in San Jose California
At this conference MTT started negotiations with the soon to be software development team headed by Andrew Young of Young Minds Corporation Dan Shields (President and Founder) struck a deal to hire Andrews group to build Microsoft extension tools. MTT then undertook to moving of the UVC 7710 code from hardware to software.
