My suggestion is to host your own. You can use a 3rd party service
like Zencoder to handle the encoding of the videos and then use a
service like VoxCAST or SoftLayer to deliver the actual streams. I
do that for one client, except we handle our own encoding through a
custom server I wrote. We push out about 12tb a month of video
through VoxCAST and store them all on a single dedicated server
through Voxel.<br>

Two years ago there were a slew of these, but most of them
vanished over the past year. The big players remain, such as
Brightcove and Blip.TV. I'd be concerned about using a newer or
smaller provider, considering that the lesson learned from the
past is your content is as safe as the provider's longevity. (Even
the majority of Brightcove users lost their videos when they
dropped support of their free service.)<br>
<br>
If you can license the content using cc-bysa, I would strongly
suggest using Archive, which seems to have longevity on its side,
as well as no branding on the videos.<br>

<div style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt;

<br>
We are currently working on a project that is going to be
heavy on embedded video content. From what I understand most
of our customers are not going to be happy with youtube or
vimeo, since the player is branded with youtube or vimeo. We
certainly don't want to host the video ourselves. A
recommendation from Aaron Winborn that is well heeded. <br>
<br>
I just spoke with the guys at Fliqz, and apparently with some
crafty programming they can supply a mechanism to allow
multiple customers use the same account. So the costs are
spread out over our customer base. Versus telling each
customer to go and get their own account. We want to make it
more seamless for them. My questions are as follows:<br>
<br>
1. Does anyone have experience with fliqz that they would care
to share good or bad.<br>
2. Are there other service providers that would offer the same
functionality that I should be looking at.<br>
<br>
From what I can see fliqz isn't supported by the embedded
video field, and would need to be written. Something I would
do and contribute back.<br>
<br>
Any help would be greatly appreciated.<br>
