I looked into their business model. I'd want to here from video producers who did a lot of work for them. Seems more like http://www.wired.com/magazine/2009/10/ff_demandmedia. Ironically, Turnhere's orientation video is a downloading WMV: http://producers.turnhere.com/orientation-webinar-video.html Guess some there doesn't know how to do simple transcoding? Sorry to be a scrooge, but I hate companies that just want to profit from other people's work. Like an Amway scheme.
