Hi all
Just saw an another interview with Jeremy Allaire go up, this time on itvt's site. It appears Brightcove's focus is big media, but maybe they will come around later and support us vloggers and small producers too.
In the interview Allaire also mentions their flash scheme (see quote, below) and also re their DRM, I've linked the full interview on vlognews:

<x-tad-bigger>Allaire: ...</x-tad-bigger><x-tad-bigger>We're currently offering free Flash 8 video encoders using On2's Flix Pro encoding software, so if you have video you can launch it immediately. All you need are your video assets themselves, and whatever graphics you want to brand them with.
</x-tad-bigger><x-tad-bigger>[itvt]</x-tad-bigger><x-tad-bigger>: So the service delivers video in the Flash format…
</x-tad-bigger><x-tad-bigger>Allaire</x-tad-bigger><x-tad-bigger>: Yes. During the commercial preview stage, all of the video is being delivered in the Flash video format. As I just mentioned, we're offering a free version of the On2 Flix Pro video encoder, so if you have video in QuickTime or .avi, DV, MPEG or whatever, you can encode it into the Flash 7 or 8 format. We're running this commercial preview over the coming months, and in the near future we will start to make available a range of avenues for publishers to generate revenue from their broadband channels. You'll have the option of delivering advertising in your content, charging users to watch or download your content, or syndicating the content to other Web properties.</x-tad-bigger>
