Ken Block is Back! San Francisco Gymkhana!

July 12th, 2012

This is a guest post written by Alex Polonsky, car enthusiast and the developer of VidCompare.com

Ken Block is long known for his incredible driving abilities using highly modified cars creating incredible stunt action videos. In his latest Gymkhana video, Ken Block is back in the DC Shoes race car and this time he tackles the streets of San Francisco. Many high traffic San Francisco streets were closed down for a while in order to allow the crew to film the event – even the San Francisco Bay Bridge.

This video is available in HD on YouTube, you can check it out here:

Ken Block’s team builds some amazing cars, all are record breakers in their own way, and all use some of the best car parts on the market. The cars usually go through a full race prep that involves stripping the car down to it’s chassis and rebuilding it from scratch using the latest technology. There are videos available that showcase the car prep, and their research and developement teams do lots of evaluation of every part, even down to the evaluation of a short ram intake vs a cold air intake and how it interacts with the turbo setup, computer, and fuel system.

It’s exciting to see the latest videos and it’s also interesting how YouTube is still the premier hosting destination, but others such as Vimeo have gained a lot of market share and are becoming the YouTube alternative.

Cloud-Based Video Editing Solutions and Increased Corporate Spending on Hosted Services

June 25th, 2012

An Interview with Hareesh Vazhaparampil of Mixmoov

 

By Paul Ritter, Special Contributor to VidCompare

 

With the Brightcove PLAY event happening this week in Boston, it’s a great time to take a look at the world of video in the cloud and to speak with one of the up and comers in the marketplace. With so many different types of applications and technologies moving to the cloud to take advantage of efficiencies, cost savings and scalability that can be gained, it’s been clear for a while that many aspects of video publishing, hosting and delivery are key areas that are benefiting from cloud technology. Corporate spending on hosted services for video solutions has been on the rise for several years, and is expected to increase steadily through 2015, based on research published by Interactive Media Strategies. Hosted services for business video related technologies and solutions will account for almost $700 million in annual spending in the corporate sector by 2015, according to the market forecast by IMS developed earlier this year.

In the past 12 months or so, technologies that enable video editing in the cloud have begun to gain ground as a component of the hosted services or software-as-a-service (SaaS) marketplace. Some of these solutions are geared primarily toward consumer applications, such as WeVideo (see link) and YouTube’s video editor. Other solutions such as Animoto, and Stupeflix are increasingly targeting the business sector as well as the consumer market. Mixmoov, a provider of online video editing technology that’s based in France, takes a B2B approach for reaching new customers. Mixmoov is a Brightcove partner that is one of many key players in the online video ecosystem that is making the pilgrimage to Boston for the must-attend event in the world of video in the cloud.

5 things your online business can accomplish with a premium video platform that it can’t with YouTube

April 13th, 2012

Guest Post by Meghan Grosso

The debate over whether your business can benefit from video is nonexistent.  With new studies coming out every week on the growing reach of video, it’s clear that if your business has a website, video is an essential.  From 30 second demos to large scale UGC submission contests – the possibilities for capitalizing on the world’s rapidly growing consumption of online video are vast.

What is not always so clear is where your videos should be hosted. YouTube is the obvious option.  After all, even your seven-year-old cousin knows how YouTube works.  Of course, the fact that your seven-year-old cousin is posting videos on YouTube is the first big indication that YouTube may not be the service best suited to your professional content.

Here are five ways that a premium video platform can help your business tap into the full potential of online video that YouTube cannot:

Online Video Platform YouReview – Kaltura

August 15th, 2011

By special guest blogger, Charlie Davis. This post originally ran on his blog.

In the jungle of OVPs, Kaltura is one of three open source video platforms according to our trusted resource,VidCompare.com.  Among the experts and journalists in the U.S., Kaltura holds rank among the most popular OVP providers, sharing press with Ooyala, KIT Digital, and Brightcove.  And, you’ll find Kaltura sharing industry insight into hot topics like DRM, mobile, and tablet delivery, as well as being a founding member of the ‘Open Video Alliance’ (www.openvideoalliance.org).

So, what makes Kaltura’s OVP stand out?  Well, from my review of their 30-day trial SaaS offering below, Kaltura offers more flexibility than most OVPs that will likely appeal to the technically saavy user or service provider.  With a role-based content management backend that provides batch processing of media files, content moderation, and insight into content origin, activity and usage, this OVP should be on the short list of anyone who wants more granular control over their content, their contributors, and the software that supports it all.
