Word for the Day: Brightcove
If you’re interested in posting videos online, you should know that YouTube is not the only game in town, and not even the best (depending on what your needs are).
PC Magazine has an article on video sites that gives a good introduction to the benefits of the various sites.
Brightcove is where we host our Think Salmon video channel. We chose Brightcove because it had the most professional look. We wanted the videos to be crisp and not as pixellated as they appear on YouTube.
Compare the quality of my Brightcove videos to the quality of my YouTube videos. (Yes, the quality will be slightly different because we used different cameras. This isn’t a perfect science experiment.)
Blip.tv is my other favourite video site. It is much better than YouTube and I haven’t decided yet whether it’s better than Brightcove.
Let me know what you think. Which do you like better?
