Here’s an interesting question. One of my sons is talking with a
company about improving their web presence and related things. They
have manufacturing testing going on elsewhere in the world, and
they’d like to be able to see video clips of the work online… BUT
without that video being available for unauthorised people to see.
The simplicity of a YouTube-like system is very attractive. For one
thing, the people here are not technically savvy and just won’t be
able to handle preparing video content themselves. Is there a service
(Vimeo, etc.) that converts uploaded content to an online-friendly
format and allows password-restricted access to video content?
I’ll look myself later, but I thought perhaps someone here knows of
something…
Hi keith,
I’ve used Zamzar (http://www.zamzar.com/) before and was impressed by
the formats covered and the speed of the transcoding. As far as I know
they won’t host or protect the converted files but the conversion
itself is a breeze.
Regards,
Tim.
