Re: [videoblogging] pyro.tv transcoding and rehosting your stuff
In the gold rushes the people who got rich were the ones selling pans and shovels, not the panners. People who are out to make a buck on the back of another will always be able find a way to do that. I don't respect them, but I accept them. Like I accept the existence of bacteria in my intestine. I know it's living in there, serving some kind of purpose, I just usually avoid thinking about it. If they become larger, like a tapeworm say, and start causing health problems, like stealing viewership and therefore ad revenue, then maybe it's time to call in the Quinacrine, or a lawyer. Drunken metaphoring, sorry if none of that made sense. -- Adam Quirk Wreck Salvage 551.208.4644 Brooklyn, NY http://wreckandsalvage.com [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

Blip's ads do not play through. That's a factor...

Re: [videoblogging] pyro.tv transcoding and rehosting your stuff
I blogged about it here: http://offonatangent.blogspot.com/2007/03/mike-hudacks-rules-for- video-sharing.html or http://tinyurl.com/2pvyg9 And posted their initial response: Update from Pyro.tv via Roxanne: I understand the importance of tracking views and data. We will be soon releasing a tool for publishers like yourself to get direct visibility to your feed and titles performance through our service. I will let you know when it is available. In the meantime, I'd be happy to pass along any data we had already gathered (granted we have only been public for a few days). I have passed your feedback to our product group and will be implementing changes as soon as we can. If you visit the site you should see that the pyro.tv watermark in the player has already been removed. I am also recommending a clear link in the player area titled Visit this publisher's website or something similar, among other changes to provide clear information about the content owner and rights. Any additional feedback you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Re: [videoblogging] pyro.tv transcoding and rehosting your stuff
i also got a response from them saying what sull had said that they transcode so it's a more reliable playback experience... Ryanne - I'll have your channel removed as soon as possible. Just an FYI, I understand that transcoding and hosting is an issue, but we decided to go ahead with it because it significantly improves the viewing experience in a web environment. We track all viewing data (not just downloads) and will be making it available to all publishers in the next week.
