The problem is still that these solutions require transcoding on a server after the user uploads something. What needs to happen is that the transcode happens locally on the end-user’s computer before its uploaded. This will scale perfectly since its harnessing the power of the submitting PC, the quality is better since the user doesnt have to make a compressed file first only to be uploaded to be further compressed, and there is no internal server side costs.

This solution is the best for completely removing server side costs. And whats best, the video goes straight from the end-user to the destination with no stop gaps.

Good thoughts Akash -- I agree. The mid-tier providers are proliferating though. I think the key is to tie up with white-label video platforms. That type of customer wants a one-stop shop.

Interesting but their competitive advantage can easily be mimicked by entrenched players. What is the barrier to entry?
And what customer segment are they targeting? The premium content providers will not use them, low end will be satisfied with Youtube, etc. So they are left with mid tier market (semi pro).
I see them being part of a larger video platform play – tie up with services provided by Brightcoves of the world. Thoughts?
