I’ll keep this super short, because you can read/watch more about it here.
My employer, BitGravity released a free Flash video player, developed by Dean Casalena, for people to quickly and easily post FLV & H.264 videos they are hosting themselves (or, obviously, on the BitGravity CDN).
It’s tucked away a little bit in the Player Configuration Wizard, but I think it might be interesting to experiment with the pre-roll and post-roll advertising functionality. That’s something you don’t get when you embed Vimeo or Viddler videos, and it opens up new opportunities for video content producers to monetize their content.
Have you seen the OpenVideoPlayer movement? http://www.openvideoplayer.com
I really dig the BitGravity Player. I added it to my one of my clients websites – http://www.cvlci.com/phoenix_graphics_3d.html
It’s only 15 months late, however, thanks for the shout out about BitGravity’s free Flash player Brian!
