Video hosting service: which is the best?

Edson · 2 Mar 2009, 12:21

i have started making some short videos using jing dealing with aspects of SUp and Photoshop. i would like to host them somewhere so that my students can have access to them. which services do you recommend? youtube, vimeo, or what?

thanks.

I believe vimeo is pretty good, really depends what sort of quality you need, though.

What sort of length as well? theres a limit on youtube.

just average stuff. my intention is to produce short tutorials (under 5 minutes).

I agree Vimeo offers best quality, Google video and You tube both compress too far and cause the quality to deteriorate.

Yes, Vimeo is the way to go.

Blip.tv doesn't seem to be too bad either.

reporting on my first tests with youtube and vimeo: all uploads to youtube worked immediately, to vimeo i had to upload several times to have sound and image synchronized. this is not say one is better than the other, though. my data is still too slim...

Edson, did you try blip.tv ?

Edson · 7 Mar 2009, 19:11

no, dave, but i certainly will. and picasa, too. thanks.

dave, i just uploaded a short video to blip.tv and it went smoothly. very clean interface and very practical to use. i'll let you know how it goes as i use it more intensively.

Good news. I've had very good luck with it. I hope you do as well.
