These are all interesting ideas, but I think they're too intricate to be feasible right now. I don't know that there's such a thing as "Brazilian local video ad providers", for instance. The way it seems right now is that there are a couple of groups that serve a bunch of different videos and are looking for lots of hits to serve their commercials on. I don't think there are mom & pop stores that would like to advertise locally on internet shows that seek out opportunities like the ones you're describing.
Also, this is the internet. People watch stuff from everywhere. There's no guarantee that someone in Iowa watching something in Brazil will have an "Iowa local video ad provider" that wants to serve videos on Brazilian shows. Check out Jonny Goldstein's show with Dina Kaplan (blip.tv) for some insight on sponsorship / advertising => <http://tinyurl.com/2wo6an> -- Bill Cammack http://billcammack.com --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, "Renat Zarbailov" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I was wondering if anyone knows a solution, aside from Brightcove > and Blip, that will enable the video content provider to host his > own videos that can have auto-modular pre-roll, mid-roll, and post- > roll clickable video ads. > > In other words here is a scenario that would really hit home for a > show content provider; > > 1.The end-user visits the site, presses play in the Flash player. > The system is intelligent enough to figure out where the end-user is > located in the world by his IP address, points all video ads that > are local to that end-user.
