We all know that YouTube is not the only video sharing website in the world. There are other websites or services that you might find interesting due to their unique features. Here are some sites you should check out if you love to watch videos. These are personally hand picked because of the quality of videos they post online.
Blip.TV – Still on its beta version as of this writing, Blip.TV features great quality videos that are rarely seen online. If you compare them to YouTube, Blip.tv scorches YouTube when it comes to the great video quality even though it comes in flash. You will be able to expand the screen as you wish and embed the video on other sites. For video creators, Blip shares its revenue based on the number of hits. This revenue and video sharing site gives Blip a good thumbs-up to video creators while a good video quality entertains the visitors.
Brightcove – No, we’ll not be talking about Brightcoves service to MTV but their personal site. This site also shares its revenue with the uploaders 50/50. They also offer a software wherein you can upload a video from the website using Publishpod. But that’s not all, before you publish your video, why not edit it up a little bit with their online editor Aftermix? Those nasty scenes can be cut in no time. Plus you can record videos directly from your webcam and post it online. What more can you ask for a site that gives you money for your content and lets you edit it jut like the professionals?
Stage6 – This one’s my personal favorite. The website was created by the same developers responsible for DivX. Videos posted in this website are HD quality like no other. The videos are not in flash and never will. You have to change them to their own specification. But you don’t need to purchase any software as they will give you one free conversion tool. The full screen mode of Stage6 is second to none. Video creators can even post a full length film as this site supports files up to 2GB.
Veoh – This website has been following a lot of buzz because it posts various options to users. One, they can download a free movie, two they can purchase movies for sale and rent video downloads. 30% of the earnings go to Veoh and 70% goes to the publisher. There are also tons of videos that you can watch for free. Video quality is better than YouTube but not as good as Blip or Stage 6.
Revver – This is also a video/revenue sharing website. Earnings from videos are shared 50/50. You will be able to see your earnings in real time with an optional downloadable tool Revver provides. The video is posted not only in Flash but also in Quicktime. Individual codes to post them in your blog and other sites are available.
The runner ups: Soapbox by Microsoft, Vimeo and Jumpcut. Though good in some way, they could be really generic compared to other sites mentioned above.
