They seem to be giving attribution and providing direct download links to the original file ... downloads will hit blip for stats and links will hit feedburner and what not ... but the transcoding still bugs me. I wonder why these sites are so determined to eat up their own hosting/bandwidth space when they needn't?
They seem to have come close at this site and say on their "publishers" page: "Protecting Your Stuff We are creative types ourselves and understand that hollow and angry feeling when someone hijacks your stuff. So we provide very visible attribution of your content, which we copy completely intact with all beauty you intended. And if you don't want your videos on Pyro.TV, we promise to take it down right away" Sounds like they may be the sort who will be willing to go that last mile and stop the "copy" portion of their plan and just use the content we're already distributing in the feed. ... here's hoping. :-) - Dave On 4/14/07, ryanne hodson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > i'm referring them to the vertigo aggregator best practices > > http://videovertigo.org/information/aggregation/ > > though i'm not seeing on there > a specific clause about transcoding and re-hosting > other than this phrase: > > "Aggregators should always conduct video playback in the video's original > player, rather than the aggregator's player." > > i don't think that's specific enough.. > that says original player, not original format. > technically would that be considered the same thing? > > because quicktime just has one player > flash could possibly have different players > so i'm a little confused on that wording. > > -ry > > On 4/14/07, ryanne hodson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > yep. > > another one > > > > http://www.pyro.tv/ > > > > transcoding your stuff to flash (heck, it even looks ok) > > but then re-hosting. > > > > and i so sick and tired that i'll just let this one slide? > > um no. > > that ain't cool. > > > > SIGH > > > > -ryanne > > > > -- > > Pixelodeon-June 9th & 10th > > American Film Institute (AFI) LA, CA > > From the Computer Screen to the Big Screen > > http://pixelodeonfest.com/ > > -- > > Author of Secrets of Videoblogging ---->http://tinyurl.com/me4vs > > Me ----> http://RyanEdit.com, http://RyanIsHungry.com > > Educate ----> http://FreeVlog.org, http://Node101.org > > Community Capitalism----> http://HaveMoneyWillVlog.com > > iChat/AIM ----> VideoRodeo > > > > > -- > Pixelodeon-June 9th & 10th > American Film Institute (AFI) LA, CA > From the Computer Screen to the Big Screen > http://pixelodeonfest.com/ > -- > Author of Secrets of Videoblogging ---->http://tinyurl.com/me4vs > Me ----> http://RyanEdit.com, http://RyanIsHungry.com > Educate ----> http://FreeVlog.org, http://Node101.org > Community Capitalism----> http://HaveMoneyWillVlog.com > iChat/AIM ----> VideoRodeo > > > [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] > > > > > Yahoo!
