I'm not sure why these aggregators don't provide a link - the Permalink is provided in the RSS feed. Mefeedia does this everywhere there is a reference to your video. It is easy. Thanks, -Frank Frank Sinton CEO, Mefeedia [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.mefeedia.com - Find, Watch, and Share great

It matters. I just emailed them to fix it. No link back to permalink of blog entry ( it's in the feed ) http://network2.tv/episode/2832833/ No display of CC license ( it's in the feed ) http://network2.tv/episode/2832833/ --Steve On Apr 14, 2007, at 7:16 PM, Steve Watkins wrote: if sites

Aha, interesting, I hadnt noticed the permalink issue. Their publishers page still says We build a page for each producer's show, complete with your show name, a link to your original website, links to your RSS feed (for an audience to subscribe), and links to the original media. so hopefully

I actually ended up stopping by this site a few days ago. I think it was mentioned in some article i read. Funny thing is, they have the exact same tagline as one of the sites I worked on. But yeah, they are giving you attribution but they are definately re-hosting a newly transcoded flv file:

They seem to be giving attribution and providing direct download links to the original file ... downloads will hit blip for stats and links will hit feedburner and what not ... but the transcoding still bugs me. I wonder why these sites are so determined to eat up their own hosting/bandwidth

I think its in part because they want to assure all videos on their site are flash in order to avoid playback issues with users... and also it provides them with some deeper viewing stats as well. They are using on2 flix http://on2.com/technology/flix-features/ They are using their bandwidth.

Long live blip.tv. I agree, their strategy of offering the flv permalink sets them apart in a world of vieo hosting options. And with that single link, we videobloggers have a whole host of other fun things we can do with our content. (This has been an unpaid and sincerely honest endorsement.)

By reencoding footage they are on extremely rocky legal ground. They are actively redistributing content, and so they absolutely must adhere to peoples license. They cant try and wriggle around in the grey area that some who only embed videos have over this issue in the past. They are also most

i'm referring them to the vertigo aggregator best practices http://videovertigo.org/information/aggregation/ though i'm not seeing on there a specific clause about transcoding and re-hosting other than this phrase: Aggregators should always conduct video playback in the video's original player,
