Defined Tag: Online Video Service.

Online video is an innovative way of adding rich content to a website or blog. This is true whether you are maintaining your own blog or whether you are marketing a profit-earning website. Some of the online video services provided by popular sites such as YouTube give freedom and a sense of individualism to users; and also enables them to share their videos online without charging them a fee.

Examples of websites that provide online video service includes Dovetail, Guba, and Ziddio. These websites allow users to upload, share, and even buy content generated and posted by users. A website typically has more than a hundred videos of movies and TV shows. Each of these websites, in turn, has their own unique features or capabilities that they offer.

Dovetail is for video makers who are serious in their profession. Video hobbyists are also given the chance to compose and direct their own tv show online. The website does provide the needed exposure of video makers but the best thing about it is that the picture will be viewed in a high definition format comparable to DVD images.

Guba provides users with easy and fast downloads of videos for almost any portable device such as iPod and PSP. These videos can be viewed through Quick Time, Flash and even Windows Media formats for a fee ranging from US$ 0.50 to US$ 0.99.

Ziddio, on the other hand, offers an online video service that is totally composed of content generated by the user himself -- all original. This is why the website also holds online video contests. It has four categories: videos recorded using a camcorder, mobile phone, a video camera, or a webcam. Users only need to upload them and join the appropriate contest. Uploading limit on the website is set at 100 Mb for each video.

Online video services are usually free and the web administrator screens uploaded videos in real-time so that videos with explicit scenes are banned from being viewed by the public. Some websites, however, have private screenings of such videos that they usually charge for a fee.
