We’ve been evaluating a number of online video platforms at NACHI.TV, and I expect to post some reviews of our experiences once I’ve played with more of them. But for the meantime, here’s a quick roundup of the video platforms that I’ve found most interesting (based mostly on their product demo videos or online reviews). Please note, we’re evaluating end-to-end platforms, with transcoding, management, delivery, etc built in, so I’ve excluded a number of companies that don’t seem to offer these services. We’re also in the small-to-medium sized company range, so some providers might not match that requirement.
In no particular order:
My initial thoughts are that Brightcove and Ooyala look like great matches for us. I’ll post more comprehensive reviews later.
If there’s anyone I’m missing, please add it in the comments.
Update (12/17/2008): I just added Fliqz to the list. After a quick chat with their sales I discovered that they only do progressive download, which is a deal-breaker for us, but I thought I’d add it to the list anyway just in case someone else uses this list.
