[edit] YouTube
I succesfully uploaded a few video's in the H.264 format, so Youtube also supports this and converts this into flash. I added that.
[edit] YouTube
I edited the YouTube sections to include information on the director/normal account limits, WMV and Divx/MP4 formats. -Brian (How am I doing?) 17:55, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] vSocial
Stumbled upon another YouTube Variant, please add appropriate info...
From the site:
vSocial is an online community built around the singular objective of providing the fastest, easiest way to upload, watch and share your favorite video clips.
[edit] required minimum players
Great work on this. How about special notes for things like myspace requires Flash 8.0 or above because they use the soreson 8 codec vs others like youtube will work with flash 7.0
I am sure there are others that use windowsmedia 8.0 codec vs 9 codec too
[edit] Proposed move
I think the name is too ambiguous. I would like to suggest moving this page to "Comparison of video-sharing sites" or "Comparison of video-hosting sites" after it survives AfD. Anyone with me? --Czj 08:46, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
- Addendum: There is already a Category for "Video hosting", so I'd like to withdraw the first suggestion. I think when the page moves, it should be "Comparison of video-hosting sites" for the sake of consistency. --Czj 08:52, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Where can you sell your own video
Some services allow you to sell your video (rather then just share it), eg. GUBA and later google video. I would love to see a comparison of these services! THANKS!! -- Michael Janich 13:51, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
PS: Why do you want to delete this page? First someone has done a lot of good work (which would discourage this person to ever work again for wikipedia, as it happened to myself) and second this page is usefull and great!! Michael Janich 13:51, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Embedding, API, Thumbnails
When hosting a video somewhere, an important question is if you are actually able to embed it in your blog. Therefore it would be useful to have a table with these technical features. (Thumbnails = there is a reliable way to get a thumbnail for a given video, for linking with an image)
Youtube has embedding, API, auto-play and Thumbnails (via API) Myspace allows embedding afaict, but doesn't have API or thumbnails. Google Video allows embedding, might have an API, and apparently there is a way to use thumbnails Revver has permanent thumbnail URLs and an API, but doesn't have autoplay
I can also support the earlier call for flash version required. I can for example not play any of the myspace videos. Google and Youtube are fine.
[edit] Maximum sizes
The services don't seem to distinguish between file formats for their size limitations, so the maximum sizes table doesn't make sense at all. We could just add a single column to the first table instead. -- memset 23:27, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] More or future video sites
Glumbert
- I cant seem to find info on Glumbert. Should this be in the listing too? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by ConradKilroy (talk • contribs) 07:36, 3 December 2006 (UTC).
[edit] Google Video size limit
Hey guys. How come this article says Google Video has a maximum size limit? I've uploaded a file that was more than 1GB and haven't noticed ANYTHING regarding a size limit. --ReCover 22:23, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
- The 100 MB limit applies only when using the web-based uploader instead of the "Google Video Uploader" software. -- memset 23:02, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Downloads column
I propose to add an "Downloads" comparison column, which gives information such as whether the service allows users to download a video, and if so, what formats it is available in. For example, I know that there are third-party websites/extensions/etc. that can be used to download videos from YouTube, but only in .flv format; whereas for Google Video, there are third-party ways to download in .flv and .avi, and sometimes other formats. These details vary from site to site, and it would be interesting to see the comparison. --Spoon! 03:59, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Market share
Hmm, I wonder if we can obtain the market share percentages from anywhere?...
