CBS Introduces Classic Shows To Web Audience

Michael Garrett

With News Corp. and NBC offering up such oldies as The A-Team, Kojak, Partridge Family, and S.W.A.T. (among many others) to their online audience at Hulu and other NBC sites, it only seems logical that other television networks would follow suit in offering former fan favorite shows for viewing via the internet.
Today, CBS has become the latest network to join the online old-school bandwagon, as the company's CBS Interactive division has announced that some of their classic televisions shows [...]

Learning from Hulu’s Example

Michael Garrett

Since its launch at the end of October, Hulu has changed the opinions of many of its negative critics with outstanding features implemented into a clean and easy-to-navigate interface.
Not only that, but the private beta testing phase that the service has been under since going live also appears to be receiving all of the attention and updates necessary to provide a successful public launch, whenever that may be planned for. 
The way I see it, online video [...]

Hulu - A Very Impressive Free Video Service

Michael Garrett

The wait is over (at least for me), and now I have finally received a chance to test out Hulu, the recently launched video service that had me scratching my head just a few short months ago.
Early on in the development process of Hulu, there seemed to be no clear focus on what exactly the service would provide or even what name it would assume upon launch, which left more than a few journalists and bloggers wary of what NBC [...]

Azureus Opens Vuze Online Video Platform To Independent Producers

Michael Garrett

Azureus, the company behind the popular BitTorrent client of the same name, has today unveiled that their hi-def online video service known as Vuze will open up to independent video and film producers.
The main difference between Vuze and some of the existing competition (Joost, Babelgum, VeohTV) is that this one is based on the BitTorrent protocol, which can be bad news or good news because download speeds depend on how many users are sharing and downloading the content that you [...]

Joost Goes Public: It’s Updated But Still Needs Help

Michael Garrett

It has been more than 5 months since I first began testing the invite-only beta of Joost. Today now officially marks the public launch of the online television service, and Joost proudly claims on their mildly redesigned homepage that they have accumulated 250+ channels and 15,000+ TV shows.
Although the Joost software has been updated now to version 1.0, the service makes sure to state that “Joost is still Beta software — there's a lot more work to be [...]

Anyone who?s curious to know just how super popular online video has become, need look no further than ComScore?s newest report.

Ripcode To Make Web Video Encoding Faster And Easier

Michael Garrett

The explosive growth of video on the internet has brought with it an increasing strain on servers and the need for more storage space.
With video iPods, PSPs, iPhones and many other mobile devices offering video playback, it has become necessary to offer videos in multiple different formats which takes up more space and eats up more bandwidth requirements.
To provide a solution for this growing dilemma, RipCode has been hard at work for the past 18 months developing an appliance-based [...]

Facebook Users Get Custom Video Channels With Pyro.tv App

Michael Garrett

For those of you who don't know, Pyro.TV is a service that collects videos from around the web, and presents them to users as channels, similar to traditional television. In some ways, it is comparable to VeohTV.
The bread-and-butter of the service lies in the ability for each user to create their own channels of their favorite videos, which can then be shared amongst others.
Now, Vibe Solutions Group, the company behind the service, has announced that the Pyro.TV video channel service [...]

Universal Now Working Both Sides Of The Aisle

Paul Glazowski

Two stories concerning Universal Music emerged recently. One, an ongoing tale concerning the continuous threats of lawsuits level at Veoh by the media giant, which has in turn led a very peeved and exasperated Veoh to throw back a counter suit in which the video startup is seeking “a declaratory injunction to bar Universal from taking legal action” against the site. Another, making the rounds in the media just this morning, about the music group’s intention to “test the digital [...]
