Google Video
- Accept most video formats
- Accept upload of any size
- Have a batch upload program for upload (can be continued upon disconnection or failure)
- Allow you to charge for video viewing
- Uses Flash to view video (before this it require a proprietary video plug-in download)
- Took a day or two to approve and host your video
- The categorisation of video type is very limited (sometimes irrelevant of what I have to offer, yet I am forced to select 3 unrelated categories)
- When viewing the video, the player stretch the video too much until pixelisation happened (the player view's size follow your browser's window size. Imagine you are running a screen resolution of 1024 and above, crazy pixelisation shall happen. The only thing you could do to save this is to reduce your browser viewing size)
- Somehow, Google Video seems too serious and commercial
YouTube
- Accept most video format
- Accept upload up to 100 MB
- Doesn't have a batch upload program (using web interface for upload, not suitable to upload big file and you shall curse upon disconnection or failure during upload)
- Uses Flash to view video
- Approve and host your video almost instantly
- Allow you to tag your video (like Flickr, folksonomy)
- Allow you to embed a video player of your video in your web page or blog (Cool!)
- Somehow, YouTube seems more community friendly with more interesting videos hosted
Stay tuned for more "His Videos". Coming Soon!
