Ask HN: Easiest video embedding service (besides YouTube)
I'm recording screen captures of my product, and now I want to put it on my website. I don't feel it's suitable to share it on YouTube... it just seems a bit unprofessional.
Are there any services that take a video, and wrap a standalone player around it?
- aneesh 18y agoCan't you make your video private on YouTube (http://www.google.com/support/youtube/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=59208 http://www.google.com/support/youtube/bin/answer.py?hl=en...), then embed it on your site?
- timf 18y agoI think he's worried about the branding on the embedded player. It will say "YouTube" and also have the extraneous features included in their player (like what on youtube to look at next, etc.).
- timf 18y agoSome of the options are 'delve', 'flowplayer' and 'brightcove'. But you're going to have to pay I think. cf. here about licensing fees on the codecs http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=451264 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=451264 I've seen this free one recommended but it's not for commercial use: http://www.longtailvideo.com/players/jw-flv-player/ http://www.longtailvideo.com/players/jw-flv-player/
- menloparkbum 18y agoFlowplayer is good. It's $95. If you don't want to pay and host your own player, Vimeo is nicer looking than Youtube. http://flowplayer.org/index.html http://flowplayer.org/index.html
