the Internet: video

Overview

This page is about internet sites oriented towards providing video over the Internet. Such sites generally fall into the following categories:

  • video sharing, i.e. sites which let you upload your own videos and view the uploaded videos of others
  • torrent sites which provide tracking for BitTorrent files (of which video is a very popular type)
  • video feed sites, i.e. sites providing produced content (with or without commercials)

Video Feed Sites

  • Joost
  • miro: open source player with streams of free, non-DRM content
    • miro vs. Joost, adapted from information on the miro home page:
      • miro: 2500 channels, all unrestricted; Joost: 250, all with DRM
      • miro has a "huge selection" of HD content; Joost: no HD content
      • miro: open source player; Joost: proprietary software
      • miro: players for Linux, Mac, Windows; Joost: Windows only
      • However, Joost seems to have more desirable content (commercial TV shows etc.)
