I'm sure either of those vendors would set up a trial for you so that you can test the streaming quality on your bandwidth.

I am worried about bandwidth issues, both collections will be hosted, but will they still tax our bandwidth so much that they will be frustrating and counterproductive? Does anyone have either of these? What has been your experience? Thanks! Wendy

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
