Very interesting. I would like to know more about using Sharepoint as a CDN and using a SaaS to serve the video to it. Additionally we will be investigating OVP's who support/host Articulate interactive flash containers/players. Would love to know more about your service and if it will be a contender for my client.

Yes thanks, errors perhaps. I gather infromation from a variety of sources for the research I do, this is just the begining, and only one source. http://www.masternewmedia.org/professional-whit... So I am not surprised there might be some non-truths. This is not meant to be the end all OVP article, but simply a place where I can discuss and record what I find on the web, thanks for stopping by! Please shed any light you have on the subject, what are your expereinces/recommendations?

Great start, but the OVP market is much more complex and nuanced that a three-column chart can articulate.

Additionally, at Twistage, we support encoding directly to MPEG and FLV. We also allow customers to upload their own pre-encoded Flash 8 files if they prefer.

More importantly, though, is that we offer a completely customized video publishing workflow, not just a custom player. The front end is the easy stuff. Our focus is implementing flexible, customized, streamlined workflows for video publishers that automate as much of the process as possible, saving publishers money on every video they produce.

Twistage enables publishers to select which technology partners they use for each workflow process. Use whatever CDN you want, whatever player, any encoder, ad network and more, without having to change a single element of your player's embed code.

Simply put, Twistage is the most flexible OVP on the market. We don't tell you how to work. Our customers tell us how they want to work. Twistage makes it happen.

This article is full of errors. What are your sources?

It's clear that you didn't even visit the websites of these companies to learn about their offerings.

Hi,

If you are doing research, you really need to DO the research. Your article is basically just a reprint of this one:

http://www.masternewmedia.org/professional-whit...

MUCH of your information is incorrect and thus misleading.
