Streaming Media East Videos Now Available on Streamingmedia.com

Dan Rayburn announced on his Business of Video blog that a number of the videos from Streaming Media East have been edited and archived, thanks to ScribeMedia, and available at www.streamingmedia.com/videos.

Dan says, "Thirteen sessions are now available for viewing with more being added each day... We welcome anyone to use the videos on their site or in their blog in anyway they like as long as it is non-commercial in nature."

So with that, I've embedded the player below. Enjoy!
UPDATE: Well, I tried to embed the player here but it didn't work. I did get it to work when I tested it outside of Blogger using straight html in Dreamweaver and posting to a web server, but I couldn't get the player to appear here... so again, I've included a still image which also links you to the actual player on Streamingmedia.com...


Be sure to check out the Streaming Media East Conference Program page to download the presentations that are available there.

UPDATE 2: If anyone knows a workaround on embedding the Brightcove player, please let me know. @mrpinkspot I need you help!

Mogulus Launches Google Overlay Ads Today

Starting today at 3pm EST, Mogulus will begin inserting overlay adverts in all Mogulus Free channels. A May 28th email to Mogulus channel producers along with a post the Mogulus blog said, "The adverts are provided by our partner Google and are content and viewer location targeted text adverts. They will be shown on the Mogulus channel page and all embedded Mogulus players (for Mogulus Free channels only)"

This Beet.TV video by Andy Plesser was recorded last week at Streaming Media East, and is an interview with Max Haot, CEO and Founder of Mogulus who discusses the launch of Google overlay ads.




The email/blog post continued, "We hope you will agree that the ads are not too intrusive and, particularly in this first phase, we sincerely hope that you will leave them enabled. Advertising on Mogulus Free channels will help us to offset some of the high hosting bandwidth costs we are incurring every month and allow us to keep the free platform exactly that...free! We'll also be evaluating just how effective the ads are and this will help us plan a future release of advertising revenue share programs for selected Mogulus producers."

To see the adverts in action visit "The Digital Lifestyle".

The Kids Are Alright: Streaming Media East Panel on Young People's Attitude Toward Online Video

The hits just keep on coming, and in regards to Streaming Media East, that means more news coverage from the conference. Here's another new video from the conference courtesy of Scribe Media. If you're a parent of teenagers, like me, you should find this an interesting panel discussion.

"Peter Cervieri of Scribe Media conducts a focus group on young people's attitudes toward online video." - Scribe Media video description



Here's the panel session description from the Streaming Media East Program:
Focus Group: Young People's Attitudes Toward Online Video
In this special session, a panel of high school and college students will discuss their online video consumption habits. Learn what types of online video content they like, what sites they get their content from, the devices they are playing it back on, and how they interact with video advertising. Find out what their perspective is on pay media and portable content, as well as what they think the future holds for the next generation of viewers on the web. Bring your own questions for a lively Q&A session with the students at the end of the session.

Moderator: Peter Cervieri, Director, Scribe Media
Presenter: Dylan, Creator, Co-Producer, DylansCouch.com

It's a frank and honest discussion with the panel members who ranged from high schoolers to a recent college graduate. Embed tags for the video are not available yet but Micheal Cervieri of Scribe Media assured me that they will be available soon.

UPDATE: You can click on any of the photos to link directly to the video.
UPDATE 2 (6/01/08): The photos have been removed and the video is now embedded.
UPDATE 3: (6/08/08): I updated the link of the video to Scribe Media, Kids Have The Darndest Video Consumption Habits, where Peter Cervieri has some interesting background information on this panel and research project on young people and their viewing habits.

Streaming Media East Interviews: Kevin Towes on Flash Player 10

This rounds out a week of coverage on Streaming Media East. Many news stories have been posted and the videos from the conference sessions are starting to be available. Andy Plesser of Beet.TV was on the conference floor doing a live 2-hour broadcast that featured a number of shakers and movers in the online video publishing industry.

Kevin Towes from Adobe was on hand to discuss the latest release of Flash Player 10 of which Hank Williams of Why Does Everything Suck.com says will change the economics of internet in his post Adobe Introduces P2P Flash Player, Kills CDNs.


About this video, Williams says, "While Andy interprets Kevin's answer as being a refutation of what I said, it is clearly not. Kevin actually doesn't give a direct answer. He says "Hank makes some gross assumptions in all his diligence, its sort of interesting. But what we announced is something called RTMFP." But what he does not say is, "you will not be able to make a p2p network with Flash." Also, neither has the Flash Player Product Manager Justin Everett-Church been categorical about it here or here." - Hank Williams, Why does everything suck? May 21, 2008

Hank Williams has several follow up posts:

• Flash 10 p2p and CDNs – Deeper Analysis
• Flash Product Mgr. Weighs In RE: Flash 10 And CDNs...
• Adobe Refuses To Say I'm Wrong.
