Video Hosting / Distribution Question

Posted by stuartEngelhardt on August 12, 2010 at 3:38pm

This is regarding only admin / professionally supplied videos, NOT user uploaded videos.

We have a set of videos we need to keep as close to original quality as possible, custom designed for the website, in MPEG4 H.264 encoding - to be as "universally" viewable as possible without any other conversion / transcoding - so we would prefer to not have them tampered with when uploaded (as would happen with YouTube).

We're looking at CDN2 Video (http://drupal.org/project/cdn2) and Video (http://drupal.org/project/video) modules, as well as learning more about others listed on http://drupal.org/project/modules?filters=drupal_core%3A78&text=video

Ultimately, if we need to create an account somewhere and manually host our "professional" videos there, and then just embed / link to them from our site, we can do that. Can anyone recommend a good Hosting (CDN?) provider and/or module that interfaces with it?

Thanks,

I like blip.tv + embedded

I like blip.tv + embedded media field, but if you are looking for something a little more sophisticated than that, I would look at Kaltura (http://drupal.org/project/kaltura). They have demoed their service for me in the past, and it is pretty impressive. CDN2 looks cool too though.
