Video hosting and distribution through Brightcove and Tubemogul
So you have your own popular web site or blog and need a way to get video running on it. Maybe you have a super popular “all about beef jerky” podcast and you know the way to get it in to the minds of hungry carnivores around the globe is to have a video on your site displaying your product in all it’s deliciousness. Welcome Brightcove.com. Brightcove is a top notch video player that not only offers to play crisp video but give you the option to make money through several different options they offer from pre-roll sponsorships and banners to full page takeovers. Unlike most players and ads you see on different sites, Brightcove’s player allows you to brand it to match the aesthetics of your site. Add your logo, change the colors, make it yours! Brightcove also has excellent video anylytics.
What are Video Analytics?
Don’t let those big words scare you. All it means is that Brightcove is watching who, when, where and for how long your videos are being watched. That is some great information if you are trying to find out who your audience is or if you even have an audience at all.
Brightcove just teamed up with TubeMogul. TubeMogul not only can distribute your video across many of the biggest video sites on the web, but it powers the analytics behind Bright Cove. These two powerhouses are teaming up to create a monster in the video distribution arena. Worth your time to check them out.

Encoding.com
Encoding.com is a pretty cool company for the pro video podcaster. If you are into the whole “do it yourself” thing and don’t want to rely on hosts such as Blubrry, YouTube or Libsyn (to name a few), AND you don’t want to mess with all of the video encoding settings, you may be interested in Encoding.com who just raised some serious cash to enhance their offering.
Encoding.com has a cloud-based encoding infrastructure that will convert your video to and from many, many formats. They have tons of features including stuff like: thumbnail generation, watermarking, real time status updates, presets for many output formats like web, iPhone and mobile and a whole lot more. But most sexy, to me, is the ease of integration! They have a cross-platform desktop AIR application, WordPress and Drupal plugins, and an FTP dropbox option as well. Once the file is converted, the can even upload it back to your server, to your CDN or to Amazon cloud hosting. All of this starting at about a month (see their pricing structure). I did a pricing test and you can upload and convert 6 videos a month that are 50mb each and export them back in two formats (say web and iPhone) for . Not a bad deal compared to the starting price tag for Brightcove and others.
From Techcrunch, “Encoding.com, a startup that provides online video encoding services, has raised .25 million in Series A funding. The funding was led by Metamorphic Ventures and included angel investors Patrick Condon, Fred Hamilton, Zelkova Ventures, Dave Morgan, and Allen Morgan. The funds will be used to further sales, marketing, and partnership programs.”
Encoding.com is the leading global provider of studio-class video services for websites offering user-generated and premium video, delivering over 4 million encoded videos since 2009. Encoding.com makes transcoding video into all popular formats easy, cost-effective and instantly scalable for global enterprises and SMBs. As the first and only encoding service offering service level agreements, Encoding.com removes the necessity for its customers to make heavy investments in expensive hardware / software solutions and overhead required to manage high-volume video transcoding needs and backs it with a wait-time service level guarantee. In 2008, the start-up was named one of seven finalists for the AWS Start-Up Challenge. This Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) business is based in Denver, Colorado and San Francisco, California.

Full video editing online at JayCut.com
Steven Spielberg has nothing on me…well except years of training and talent. One thing that you can get away with that he can’t though is editing video on your mobile phone. You may have heard about this fun online app that can easily edit movies, pics, and music together called JayCut. It is definitely not a professional editing suite like Final Cut Pro or Adobe Premiere, but if you want to easily cut together some videos of you pieced together with a video of a fat guy belly flopping off the high dive that you found on you tube, this is your ticket to stardom. I wouldn’t expect an Oscar anytime soon, but JayCut can do surprisingly well with simple edits. Did I mention you can use it on your phone? All you need is a phone that supports Flash — sorry iphone users 
Do you use JayCut for your podcast, or for another reason? Let us know the results, leave a comment! We would love to hear how you used JayCut to create your show and grow your podcast audience.
In the video above, we are lead to believe that someone is doing a demonstration MAC VERSION of Adobe Audition’s audio editing software. If this is real, I can tell you that I will be every so glad to say goodbye to Windows FOREVER!!!! Right now, I keep Windows XP running in Parallels on my 27″ iMac for the sole purpose of processing each of my audio recordings with Adobe Audition 3.0.
What are your thoughts? Do you think this could be real with the current war going on between Adobe and Apple over Flash?

This video pits the Rode ProCaster up to the famous Electro-Voice RE-20 and RE-27. Is the Rode a contender as a broadcast standard?
The very loyal following of Rode fans have requested this video.
The ProCaster is a great broadcast dynamic microphone. At record time, it is a bargain too, coming in at almost half the price of (what I consider) its broadcast peers; the Electro-Voice RE-20 and RE-27.
Have a look and listen as we put the ProCaster up against the RE-20 and RE-27…
