which a application, I have not tried, so this is for reference only.
Joost
Platform: Windows / Intel Mac / Linux
Status: Invite, Beta test (need to invite, please include your e-mail message , name can be.)
Joost and Kazaa ** from Skype * founder, video on demand services, the use of P2P technology to provide TV-like computer experience. In this regard, it can be seen as not cable TV set-top box. In addition, through built-in applications (called News subscription. According to content, the big TV shows are signed up, including: MTV, Comedy Central, CNN, Sony Pictures television, CBS and National Geographic (National Geographic).
I think: Joost to the world of network television I have the most impressive products. the P2P (peer to peer) technology not only reduces the cost of content delivery providers, but also as a way to resolve copyright issues. In short, the image quality is good. Content Copyright restrictions prevent living in Users outside the United States.
latest news: Joost already has 100 million registered users, is still in Beta testing.
Note:
* Skype is the world's popular phone
** Kazaa P2P network is P2P file-sharing tool
Babelgum
Platform: Windows
Status: Invite, Beta Test (need an invitation, please include your e-mail message, you can name.)
Babelgum is a billionaire from Italy Silvio Scaglia founded the online peer to peer video services. like Joost, to Fusion TV The strategy seems to be more to help find the edge of the content, linked with the edge of the audience. so this is to play a
I think: Babelgum Joost can beat the market, the first advantage of the success of content strategy from the edge of big media competition mm in mm will be seen against the background. But in any case, P2P network television look more healthy, because at least two competitors rather than one.
RealPlayer 11
Platform: Windows
Status: Open Beta test a new version of RealPlayer
integrated media player, music boxes and CD burning function (similar to iTunes). with a new landmark features: to download videos from the network capacity. RealPlayer 11 installed, when you visit the embedded video (Real, Flash, QuickTime or Windows Media) of the site, the top stream in real time fluctuations in Article available for download or online video effectively.
I think: When RealPlayer significantly enhance its bad reputation is difficult, the version that did 11 points better. The new music box features may interact and learn from iTunes. and to download and save the network video capabilities, not only well, but very popular for those who want to create their own personal video collection of the user.
Vuze
Platform: Windows (need to play premium content) / Mac
Status: fully open Published
Vuze is a search, browse and download producers, to distribute their content to millions of users mm mm free to be higher than other competing services, the photo quality. In addition, this is an open platform, anyone can publish content, Vuze has signed many big-name collaborators, including the BBC, A & E and Showtime, offer paid video content: rental and sale.
Although Vuse can be used as a video library, but the content is quite old, but the application does not have its own media partners. That is because Vuze support any format, so content producers can upload videos in any format, free, which means that the application easier to play outside of management (for example, using QuickTime or Windows Media Player).
I think: Vuze welcomed by independent producers, zero-cost producers who want to achieve HD quality distribution of video content. content charging functionality is currently only signed a formal agreement for the contract to provide software for all future versions will enable the creator to set their own prices, select the business model ( rent, sell or advertise), management and publish the scope to choose whether to use DRM.
VeohTV
Platform: Windows
Status: Invite, Beta test (I tested and, at present there are still restrictions in China to watch Channel)
VeohTV, Joost or Babelgum located in a more mm through cable video-sharing site, the style of the program guide, you can view video content. In addition, VeohTV allows you to download, save almost any DRM free online video rights to the video library (similar to RealPlayer 11 the way).
I think : VeohTV wanted to create a simple video player / integrator, to any online video, in order that we really like this application. but in fact, this is why it is not doing enough. unstable image quality and download time mm although this is not the fault of Veoh mm result in poor viewing experience. would like to subscribe and seamless management of video podcasts, you can also see other types of online video. In fact VeohTV make the process too complicated. just said some of these issues through a simple interface optimization can improve, so do not immediately turn off the VeohTV.
