Are the video solutions simply passing by the locals?

Steve Safran May 15th, 2007

There are some very impressive video solutions here at Streaming Media East. There are streaming products that are HD quality or darn near it. There is such a range of high-quality presentation software here that it’s a revelation to anyone who spends time on local TV news sites: This is what our online video could look like? What are we waiting for? In response to the inevitable “It will cost too much” reply, I’ve even inquired about pricing. High quality is more affordable than ever. Cost is no longer the barrier: the willingness to change is.

Been waiting to see the different options this afternoon, now jumping on bandwagon to request more information.

Yeah, are you just talking Brightcove? Or stuff we’ve never seen yet?

If you ask me, technology is only part of the problem here. It’s the complete lack of understanding of what it takes to develop original video programming for the web.

Cory,
you make a very good point. I spent many years working in broadcast news and have to say that original thought was not encouraged. It was a monkey see monkey do world. Technology to me seems to be the easy part, use what best fills your needs for your platform of choice. Good picture…good sound…good story, will get noticed.
