I’ve heard Edgecast isn’t a very good CDN. If you look at their owners history they always sell their companies after a few years in business. They are only in it for a quick buck. Plus, since they have no previous CDN experience they learn on the fly.

Magnify.net rocks! Delve’s platform doesn’t scale nor can their company. They’re analytics capabilities suck and the rumormill has it they are running out of cash. With their current CEO running the ship into the ground, there is no way they are going to survive. To be safe, go with the more established players in the market.

Brightcove is just a CMS/ Workflow tool, they scale based on CDNs. What’s the magic?

What about community features or video discovery/searching? These guys seem to get more complicated, time consuming and expensive every 6 months. I like what Magnify.net is doing.

Brightcove doesn’t have scaling issues because they just rent space and bandwidth from LimeLight

Paulson – Not accurate at all – Wizzard Media Player is backed by the Libsyn.com infrastructure. With a Billion Downloads last year – they can handle any traffic thrown at them. They are the largest podcast hosting company and have proven they can handle heavy traffic loads.

Delve Networks is built by the same folks who helped build Amazon’s web services like S3, EC2, SQS, etc. They also work on search engines like Inktomi and Amazon.com’s ecommerce site.

I am guessing they can scale but you are right they don’t seem to have enough customers to prove it yet. I also suspect they are using AWS to help scale since they know that technology platform well (since they used to work there).

You can compare all these companies all you want all day long, but the biggest issue is scale. YouTube has dealt with it and has the best company in the world behind them to handle scaling issues, but Brightcove is easily second in the video market when it comes to handling streams and load that other systems can’t even think of yet. It’s such an incredibly hard hurdle to overcome, so while the “Wizzard media player” (whatever the hell that is) has some nice features, it would likely crumble under the same systems load the Brightcove sees on a daily basis.

Many of these “new” features are already available with the Wizzard Media player. Wizzard’s player already does the dynamic delivery of the video depending on the end users connection speed and version of flash.

And they also have tubemogul integration and their player is free and has been out since the summer.

The difference between Brightcove customers and Youtube ‘customers’ is that the Brightcove ones pay for the privilege! This is an actual functioning business, unlike the fantasy economics of so much of the web streaming industry.

And brightcove have not been ‘holding their dicks’ for the last two years. They introduced overlay advertising months before Youtube announced it, they pioneered video-editing and flash/video integrated experiences through a tool called Storymaker.

In the end it comes down to simple tools that work consistently and easy integration of video with content and advertising, plus reliable distribution. That’s what paying customers like myself want, and that’s what they provide.

With video playing an increasingly important role in publishing, tools like this are the way forward for those who don’t have the tech resources that are often required. If you can (easily) build in ways to generate additional revenue through this technology then it can only be a winner.
