These multi-site uploaders remind me of the multi-site submit companies (submit your site to over 10,000 search engines!). Never really worked for me...
For syndication of video, Media RSS is the solution. Manage once, publish everywhere. It provides ONE place to manage videos, metadata, and all metrics can be consolidated into one place. It provides better control (at least as good as you are going to get nowadays) - if you want a video removed, just remove it from your RSS file. Media RSS is also a great solution to allow people to watch your video in any player they want. Unfortunately, most of these video companies require you to upload your video (and agree to their TOS), so we are still stuck with the "upload your video and agree to my TOS problem" until these sites become more open networks and accept video feeds. Just my 2 cents. :) -Frank Frank Sinton CEO [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mefeedia.com/user/franks/ http://mefeedia.com - Discover, Collect, and Share video blogs -----Original Message----- From: videoblogging@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rupert Sent: Tuesday, July 31, 2007 9:41 AM To: videoblogging@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [videoblogging] new ways to distribute your shows I'm really excited by the multi-site uploaders. I've been waiting for someone to do this properly. It's important for a lot of reasons. Most of all because most people haven't got time to spend their lives uploading every video to a dozen different sites, entering Titles, Descriptions, tags, etc on each one. So you end up missing out on all the people who frequent sites you haven't uploaded to. I'd far rather spend that time finding other people's videos, watching them and connecting. To reply to J Rhett Aultman: Obviously, it's just the ease of use and range of sites they offer that will make them attractive or not. As far as I'm concerned, progress is all about automation of all the things that have traditionally taken a very long time in making and publishing a videoblog. Blip has great crossposting options, but doesn't let you upload to competitors like youtube - except your myspace blog (not to Myspace Video). Veoh has a more limited range of sites you can cross-post to than those listed by Eric today - and they slap a logo on the front of your video. Plus they screwed up all my audio - put it out of sync, but Halcyon said a couple of weeks ago that it works well for him.

Places like Veoh have offered these kinds of syndication, and Blip.tv also has similar features.
