    Testing instant video streaming websites


    So I decided to test the instant video streaming websites, by uploading the same 2 sec footage to all of them to see what the difference is


    SOURCE MATERIAL
    Recorded from playback of BF2142 demo file
    All BF2142 graphics settings on high, *4 AA, screen res 1152 x 864
    Recorded with fraps at full screen, fraps output res was 1152 x 864
    Rendered with Sony Vegas, output res 1152 x 864, file size 6.1Mb, download the sony vegas output here


    MY CRITERIA FOR INSTANT STREAMING WEBSITE
    Free to open account and upload
    No requirements for viewers to install toolbars or anything
    Can upload normal gameplay footage
    Video streams and plays immediatly (this excludes the HD sites, not that there are many options for that)


    RATED FOR PICTURE QUALITY OF PLAYBACK

    wegame.com (4.5 stars)

    veoh.com (4 stars)
    gamevee.com (4 stars)
    imeem.com (4 stars)

    viddler.com (3.5 stars)
    youtube.com (higher res) (3.5 stars)
    xfire.com (upload from xfire app) (3.5 stars)
    videos.totalgamingnetwork.com (3.5 stars)

    filefront.com (3 stars)
    dailymotion.com (3 stars)
    Internet Archive (3 stars)
    break.com (3 stars)
    video.yahoo.com (3 stars)

    youtube.com (normal res) (2.5 stars)
    gametrailers.com (2.5 stars)
    google.com (2.5 stars)


    REJECTED (WITH REASON)
    vimeo.com (4.5 stars) (does not allow normal gameplay footage, only allows Machinima)
    vreel.net (4.5 stars) (users have to install advert toobar)
    blip.tv (4 stars) (no game recordings)

    What's my conclusion ?
    draw your own conclusion, watch a few

    Thanks for the survey! I'll check out wegame later on my XP machine when I have a chance. It might use activeX to upload the vids: I can't upload from my Linux desktop.

    Silver,
    You must have missed the part of the blip.tv agreement that says no game recordings.... almost missed it myself.

    youtube has the best quality vs ease of use Ive seen


    If you find yourself in a fair fight, then you have obviously failed to plan properly.

    Youtube is loosing it's touch with all the pointless censorship that's going on. Not their fault, but still it's bad for business when your unique content is reduced. Wegame is still unaffected.

    I might try uploading a lightly compressed video to my freewebs page tonight to see how it looks using the embedded WMV player.
