What is the best video player on the web?

by Jon Ray on September 21, 2007

After a brief sabbatical from the blog for Austin City Limits and some video production work, I am back and proud to release the new Vallejo – Move On music video. Directed by my brother Jeff Ray and produced by yours truly, it’s finally ready for wide release. With so many new video delivery portals going up all the time, I figured I’d find out which one had the best quality videos. Without further ado, here is the Vallejo – Move On music video streamed on 10 of the top video sharing portals. Take a look and get back with me. Which site do you think has the best quality video?

UPDATE: Since posting this Metacafe and Revver have removed my video because they do not believe that I have the rights to post it. I’m not sure if I should be flattered or just plain annoyed.
UPDATE2: I’ve added one more player from Daily Motion.
UPDATE3: Asi over at Revver was nice enough to approve the video after reading my post. Thanks, Asi! Still no word from Metacafe.

  • John,
    Glad it worked out!
    How you like it so far?
    What differentiates us from all the other services is the chat attached, the mobile application and the channel medaphor!

    Interaction:
    Imagine the potential for the community building. All your fans can embed this tv on their myspace and start talking to each other about the content you are delivering or, even better, every once in a while talking to their role models, in this case the band. This is pure involvment!
    Also, you could create a poll and directly get the opinion of your fans.

    Mobile Application:
    With our mobile application, people can share LIVE pictures or videos from LIVE shows and post them directly to your myspace, if you want! Or imagine, Valleyo would be posting LIVE from backstage... The fans would simply love her.

    Channel Medaphor:
    Save space on your myspace! Simply produce a new show without losing the old content.

    I would love to give you a demo if you want!
    Simply contact me.

    Thank you for checking it out.

    I have to say it looks bad ass on all of them. Call me platform independent!
  • What kinda blog is this? WI assume it's WordPress.
    We actually should support WordPress.

    Did you try to use the WP-embedding code?
  • @marius - Kyte.tv does not give me a proper embed code when I click on Embed This TV. How do I get around this?
  • John,
    I would be flattered! ;-)

    Anyways, my vote goes to kyte.tv (Note, I am working there!)
    Why haven't you embedded it?

    Anyhow, I can give you a hint on how you can upload high quality videos to kyte.tv! At least I can show you the way I do it ;-)

    Cheers,

    Marius
