The privacy and ads may be an issue. HTML5 not being default yet maybe another one. However, captions, automatic translation etc would be good to have. Of course, we need to wait until we know if our CC licensed videos can be downloaded. | The privacy and ads may be an issue. HTML5 not being default yet maybe another one.

Revision as of 09:00, 3 February 2012
For the fedora videos, I was tasked with going through the various options for publishing videos. This page lists my findings.
YouTube
- YouTube Privacy note
- Google: Search logs
- Google privacy FAQ
- Google: dashboard control "What does Google know about me?"
- Sharing on YouTube is very simple, and it lets you embed its videos
- HTML5 on youtube: You need to sign up for the trial currently. If the video isn't supported by HTML5, they default to flash. (h.264 and WebM)
- Embedding using HTML5
- It appears one can disable advertisements by using the Ad preferences page, though I haven't tried it yet.
- As far as privacy is concerned, Google stores/logs data to "improve" its services and to make recommendations to its users.
- On downloading videos from YouTube: Only permitted if YouTube provides a "download link". However, this page says one can only download their own videos. I have asked a question on their forums to clarify if CC licensed videos can be downloaded or not.
- Videos on YouTube can be licensed as CC. This needs to be done explicitly while uploading.
- YouTube has subtitle support
- YouTube makes use of Google Translate to automatically translate captions into different languages. Question 4 on this page
- Reviews permitted
- Subscriptions permitted
The privacy and ads may be an issue. HTML5 not being default yet maybe another one. However, captions, automatic translation etc would be good to have. Of course, we need to wait until we know if our CC licensed videos can be downloaded.
Archive.org
- Movies FAQ: "Uploaders may designate whether or not an item has a CC License"
- Stuff can be streamed, also embedded, in both flash and non flash formats. (Not tested this yet)
- Example
- Auto detection of multiple subtitles
- HTML5 support
- Playlist support
- Downloading permitted
- OGG theora sources supported
- No upload limit.
- No sign up required to view videos/download. Membership required to upload videos only. (We could make a fedora-videos account for the purpose)
- Reviews permitted
Looks great! :D
