Hi Dana. We're moving to Brightcove soon, but I don't have a report on it yet.
You can use Vimeo for things that can only be viewed on your site. They have a function for allowing embedding only in particular places, and not allowing direct viewing even on their site. We use it for that--not so much for the reason you identify but for video content that doesn't stand alone but only makes sense in the context of a web page with other info. I think you have to have a paid account to make this work, but it's cheap. --Matt -----Original Message----- From: mcn-l-bounces at mcn.edu [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Mitroff Silvers, Dana Sent: Wednesday, February 02, 2011 7:42 PM To: 'MCN listserve' Subject: [MCN-L] video delivery networks and museums Hi everyone, At the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, we are looking into licensing an online video platform such as Brightcove to serve all of our video and audio content, and are wondering what other institutions are doing. Is your institution using an online video delivery network? Which one? What do you like and dislike about it? Currently, all of our video and audio content is Flash and is delivered from our site. The primary reason we are looking into moving all of our media to a hosted delivery network such as Brightcove is so that we can upload all our existing media to one place and let the network deliver the appropriate format to any mobile device or platform. We have considered just using YouTube, but because of rights issues with much of our content, some of our content can only appear on our own site. Would love to hear what others are doing in this space! Thanks, Dana ......................................
