2 People Are Speaking Their Mind


  1. I may be missing something here, but Brightcove has always given publishers the ability to launch highly-customized, branded Internet video channels and players. Here are a few Brightcove customers that have done just that:

    ELLE Magazine

    Sony BMG
    http://musicbox.sonybmg.com/

    IFC
    http://ifc.com/video

    FOX’s Speed TV

    Fangoria TV
    http://www.fangoria.tv/

    Discovery Channel

    You’re not wrong - but who said there only has to be one company in one industry space.

    BirghCove and thePlatform differ in a number of ways and will appeal to different video publishers with different aims.

    My understanidng is that Brightcove is generally a low cost solution but involve’s revenue share. Whereas the Platform is the reverse.

    Also Brightcove’s custom options are not as custimizable and brandable as thePlatform which gives a lot more freedom.

    mpsPresent also encompasses a desktop video player (as opposed to browser based).
