[consulting] Video Streaming Provider recommendations

[alastair scarborough]

What about setting up an Amazon (AWS) instance and streaming it from that ­
there is a wowza instance which is pretty inexpensive. You can then use the
player of your choice.

Subject:  [consulting] Video Streaming Provider recommendations

Hi,

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.

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:

1. Does anyone have experience with fliqz that they would care to share good
or bad.
2. Are there other service providers that would offer the same functionality
that I should be looking at.

>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.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
