Steve is dead on with this, the only thing I would add is that the Blip player (and many others) may look better on your home page than a YouTube player, so consider which is more important -- your brand appearance or numbers seen by YouTube viewers. I'd give the Blip player a try before

Since we're on the subject, have you seen Dynamo Player? It's not limited to the U.S. (many of our earliest users are in the UK), video publishers can embed the videos in their own web pages, and the revenue split is much better than any alternative we've seen. We're still in beta, but you

The MyBook drives seem to be a good option for archival use, but I have to say ghat I've never had them perform well for use when editing. The Fantom drives and some Lacies have been best on my system. So if you think you might push some of the editing to an external, I recommend those

I don't know the details of the reviews you've read, but I'll take unconventional amateurs and streaking over red carpets and self-gratulatory pomp any day. It's important that we recognize great work and support our colleagues, but let's dodge the temptation to emulate the Oscars and Emmys too

Re: [videoblogging] IMovie conversion options?

Also, Cheryl, keep in mind that taking an hour to compress the video may save you an hour of uploading time. It's really not wasted time, and Final Cut Pro is not much faster. If you upload the large file for conversion by another service, I highly recommend Blip. Among many other reasons,
