View Article  Another Video Service

The world may not need another video service but Jalipo is hoping it can establish a foothold in the market by offering video and TV programming on a pay-as-you-go basis. The London-based company wants to break into the competitive video market by offering content owners and distributors a place to sell high-quality downloads in a way that meets their copyright and security needs. Another twist that Jalipo holds to capture the attention of consumers is selling video on a per-minute basis, which means users pay for what they actually watch as opposed to what they download. It's an interesting approach that may not appeal to consumers given most people want to download and pay for an entire show rather than bits of things. Then again, it's probably something a start-up needs to do these days to attract attention.

Update: Mashable has a post on yet another service, FlixFocus, that lets you upload photos, video and music to social networking sites such as MySpace, Friendster, etc.

View Article  Adobe to Unveil New Video Player

Watch out Windows Media Player or Real Player, there's a new kid in town - Adobe. The company, best known for products such as Flash, Illustrator and Reader, is rolling out a new video player. The Adobe Media Player will be launched next week in Las Vegas at the National Association of Broadcasters Show, which is the gathering of the year for all those television and video types. AMP will work with Windows and Mac machines, and let people play Flash videos. It will also feature the ability to play and sign up for podcasts using RSS. What's particularly interesting for content makers is AMP will come with two security features: one will allow for video to be download but doesn't allow the user to remove any advertising, while the other feature will tie download content to specific computing devices or people.
