Test Video: DailyMotion

Despite a fairly busy and somewhat inflexible layout, DailyMotion seems to have a really nice feature set. However my attempts to post through their “Post to Blog” feature rather than copy/paste the string into my own software doesn’t quite seem to be working with my installation of WordPress at the moment. Update: It actually appears that it did post successfully every single time, but was showing an error on the DailyMotion side of things. Kind of odd. I’ve left the best of those three attempts in place.

Test from DailyMotion. Busy layout, nice features. This was posted using the "Post to Blog" feature rather than putting the embeddable string into my own posts. Handy!

Video Test: ClipShack

ClipShack seems to be a pretty decent service. So far I like all of the features that I’ve seen. It’s relatively simple, decently quick, and has a nice amount of space available for uploads.

Video Test: Google Video

Google Video has certainly come a long way since it first opened. The navigation and layout have both improved. The upload process was nice and easy. Unfortunately, no way to lock uploads for private viewing.

Video Test: DropShots

Next test, this one from DropShots. So far the best feature is that it automatically reads the time codes out of whatever you upload so you don’t have to input that information manually. Pricing is also a bit spendy for the full accounts, though the option of a one time $99 for a permenant account is rather nice.

Video Test: Grouper

Second video test, this time using Grouper. Which I think is a really stupid name for a video sharing website.

Really fricking annoying embedded video window removed.

Update: Well, the site name isn’t the only stupid thing about that site. Embedded video windows have 2 glaring issues:

  • Windows Media only, so it doesn’t work in Firefox
  • After playing the video pointed to, it automatically starts to play something else off the site

You can see the clip I uploaded here if you really want to.

Video Test

I’m doing some testing of various video upload services for use with clips that I’ve been getting from my video camera. This is the YouTube test.
