VIRAGE TO LAUNCH NEXT GENERATION VS ARCHIVE™, VS WEBCASTING™, VS NEWS MONITORING™ AND SMARTENCODE™ AT IBC 2004

Enhancements Provide Advanced Security, Customization and Flexibility for Managing Rich Media Content

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. - September 8, 2004 - Virage, Inc., a division of Autonomy Corp. (Nasdaq: AUTN; LSE: AU.) and a leading provider of rich media communication and content management software, today announced feature enhancements to its VS Archive, VS Webcasting, VS News Monitoring and SmartEncode products. Virage will demonstrate these solutions at the Virage booth #8.430 at the Amsterdam RAI at IBC 2004.

"Our customers are able to manage the full range of structured and unstructured information including video, voice and text using the Virage suite of products," said Stouffer Egan, CEO North America, Autonomy. "These latest enhancements provide advanced security, customization and flexibility in retrieving, categorizing and delivering rich media communications and content."

"Today's organizations need to index and manage more then just text," said Joshua Duhl, Analyst for IDC. "Video, audio and image files are becoming an increasing part of their corporate digital resources. Virage's infrastructure, based on Autonomy's IDOL platform, enables companies to access and use information stored across the range of formats that are part and parcel of conducting business successfully in the digital age."

VS Archive, a software solution used by enterprises to store, categorize, manage, retrieve and distribute video, audio and other rich media content, has a new enhanced Software Developer's Kit (SDK), which offers a complete set of tools and interfaces built around the open architecture of VS Archive. The SDK provides developers and systems integrators access to the full range of VS Archive functions for custom integration of searchable video into any enterprise solution. In addition, the latest version of VS Archive adds support for Active Directory service, providing Virage customers with another security option for centrally managing policy-based access control to assets, and rounding out Virage's existing support for a range of security platforms including LDAP.

VS News Monitoring is a real-time monitoring and content management solution used by enterprises and government agencies such as the U.S. Department of Defense, U.S. Army, U.S. Navy, and Center for Disease Control, to automatically track content for time sensitive, strategically significant events. The next generation VS News Monitoring includes full support for Real Network's Media format to provide output with metadata.

VS Webcasting is an enterprise software solution that simplifies and streamlines the entire workflow for producing live Webcast events and on-demand or re-broadcast presentations for large audiences. New features to VS Webcasting include run-time support for SCORM (Sharable Courseware Object Reference Model), the unifying standard for reusability and portability of eLearning content. In addition VS Webcasting now includes support for Active Directory service to further expand Virage's security compatibility.

Virage SmartEncode software works simultaneously and in real-time to control, automate and integrate video workflow and enable customers to capture, encode and index video and other rich media. VideoLogger forms the heart of the SmartEncode process, allowing simultaneous, automatic encoding and indexing of video and other rich media in real time. The next generation of Virage VideoLogger adds support for the capture of audio and video from any Windows Driver Model (WDM) device, including audio video (AV) and timecode information from IEEE1394 digital video (DV) devices using Microsoft's DV Camera and VCR driver.
