@Shaun I use cloudfront with EZS3.

Just get an account and tick that box and it streams from there….

How does this EZS3 compare to using Amazon Cloudfront? I don’t think Cloudfront was an option at the time that you wrote this article.

Excellent review and how-to video thanks James. As a non-techie it made setting all of it up very straight-forward, which was a relief as the Amazon side of things seems to be tailored towards fully fledged geeks.

Can IP address of server be used instead of url to limit where the file is viewable from?

The embeded call references the file by a number – file name would be better.

Tom I would definitely be ready to use that service. I’m loving your product since I use it almost every day now for my private membership site!

Hey James

Thanks for the write-up

We have been busy re-investing and developing our services… setting up the Cloudfront for all our users and making it easy to roll-out for their accounts and players, upgrading and expanding on our servers etc

These were all key improvements to allow us to roll-out the Premium Video Marketing services that we’ve been working on behind the scenes

The first one is codenamed: underlay

It’s what happens when the video finishes.. instead of seeing a blank video frame.. you can now show something else….

It allows you to automatically re-direct the video (think affiliate marketing – do a video review and then re-direct to the site, cart item, eBay auction or whatever)

It also allows you to put a script there (think Landing Pages / Squeeze Pages and Opt-in Forms… the video finishes.. and the form to join your list appears! )

—–

I have more in the pipeline….

(Let me know if you would like to beta test the underlay)

Thanks James, read this post a few times while comparing options. I completely missed the EZs3 part until I watched the movie. Signing up right now… CHeers!

Viddler looks pretty good. If I wanted free hosting with no ads then that looks like the best way to go.

I want control of my content now in case they change later.
(for example brightcove told people to remove the free stuff with short notice).

What is your opinion of viddler.com? It’s free with no ads.
Cheers,

“Reckon Russell Crowe’s got anything to worry about?”

…having met him and done business with him I am sure he has plenty to worry about…. in contrast, you are nothing like him so you have nothing to worry about. For example you can play decent music……. (G’Day Russ )

Doh! I put the wrong site URL in to show off my wonderful video skills.

Reckon Russell Crowe’s got anything to worry about?
