I'm all jacked-up on Mountain Dew
I would agree with most everything patti has mentioned, with one exception that being videos with no DRM. Right now on my sites i don't have DRM, however i am in the process of completely overhauling all my members areas and streaming all the videos in flash only on a 720x540 player. I know that review sites dock points for sites that do not offer full download, but i am really having a hard time justifing it these days. Right now in the members areas of my 3 main sites, i have well over $450,000 in content, that just what i have spent in the last 8 years on shooting content and editing it. I offer over 25 exclusive full length dvd's on markwolffvideo ( over $1000 if you bought in store) Plus a ton of additional content for $29.95 month. Now when you rent a $20,000 Pontiac from Hertz for $199 a week or a Hilton Hotel for $250 a nite ($500 if your in NYC
) you don't get to keep the car or the hotel room, so why would someone expect to access, download and keep close half a million dollars of content for $29.95? This might also have something to do with all the pirated material and illigal tube videos, how do you think people get all that content? I am starting to see more site owners like me re-thinking there plan of offering full downloads of all there content, it might have been the only way to go a few years back when slow internet connections did not allow for high quality streaming, but now with better hardware, better connections and the quality of flash, i think you are going to see more sites offer streaming only. At least the big sites with lots of exclusive and expensive content.
