Streaming video distribution services

Dear Lazyweb,

I’m looking for a streaming video provider that Codethink can use for streaming demos, talks etc. I want it to use HTML5 video with ogg or x264 if available and if not, fall back to Flash. Good quality streaming is a must and HD would be good. I’m happy to pay for the service.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks!

    Wow ogg! Would be so cool! I have sad stories with x264, I was so keen that youtube will use html5 video tag and no need for that slow, buggy, resurce hungry, closed source flash plugin anymore! Then I had to realize that even chormium can’t play H.264 because it is a patented technology :( And every videos I’ve tried said that no suitable video format for my browser. Blah :( So it would be really cool :)

    vimeo is unnoticeable less HD than youtube, its controls is prettier than youtube… actually youtube gives you more control on player controls but you have to learn its javascript api

    We’ve used blip.tv to get the Ubuntu Developer Summit videos out: Here’s an example: http://ubuntudevelopers.blip.tv/

    Unfortunately I can’t find a way to default to ogg for the videos on their hosted site, however they let you direct link to your ogg files if you want, so you can build a nice html5 page for yourself with the videos linked right in there.

    The other nice bonus is ftp uploads, you can just queue them up overnight or whatever, fix the metadata in the morning, and then set it to autopush to youtube, archive.org, miro, etc. It’s worth every penny.

    At work we have just released a video streaming site ( http://vidhandlr.com ). We only support flash video now, but html5 video tag support is being worked on.
