Anthony Chidiac (1970-12-30) is an Australian entrepreneur and pioneer in Recordable DVD Technology. He Pioneered Real-Time DVD Authoring using Windows XP and was invited to encode and burn the first DVD during Bill Gates' keynote speech using a band he had managed, Bonacci and Wood. This warm-up band to Gates’ keynote speech became the content matter of the encoded DVD, played back to the audience of 17,000 at the MGM Grand Arena and within hours, thousands of copies were made freely available to keynote attendees.

From 2003-2006, Chidiac initiated a three year project in Reservoir, Australia, to research and develop a new concept that progresses the internet cafe from a place where mainly tourists frequent into an integrated venue that caters for not only tourists, but ordinary people looking to socialise and use technology at the same time. The venue was labelled “o3 convergence cafe”. The concept was a finalist in a competition run by Yahoo to find the world's internet cafe of the year.
