WMG teams up with Internet video service

Warner Music Group has sealed a deal with online video service Brightcove which will see the record company distribute its vast catalog of video content on its own Web sites, whilst also raking in profit from it.

The collaboration will see WMG use Brightcove's software to embed Web-based video players in the sites for its labels, as well as individual artists. Those who visit the sites will be able to view on-demand music videos as well as other related footage in a service that will be free and ad-supported.



Brightcove licenses its Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) software to content providers so they can make it available without the requirement of a third-party service. Additionally, the Cambridge, Massachusetts-based company controls the advertising areas which will reap in the profits for Warner.

Unlike sites such as YouTube, which allows users to upload allsorts of content -- a lot of which is copyrighted, this type of service allows the companies to keep tabs on intellectual property in order to profit from it.

  IMO, what they should do is they should all combine into one massive video uploading complex.

  I personally don't like any video site that does not allow you to have the option to download the video they have posted on the site. So far I have only come across one site that does so far. www.thatvideosite.com

  Any file that can be viewed online, streamed, or otherwise watched in a web browser can be downloaded. No exceptions.
  
  1: Find the url for the source file
  --read the source of the page, or use DownThemAll to find the media URL.
  
  2: If it's hidden in a stream, VCR it.
  --there are many softwares around to capture streaming video. A lot of them are hard to find, but not that hard-google works just fine.
  
  3: If it's hidden in something more complex that can't be VCR'ed, FRAPS it.
  --No protocol can block direct screen-recording. You may need a fast PC for this.
  
  4: If your PC is too slow for #3, route your video out to another PC and record on it.
  --video capture cdevices are pretty cheap.
  PC1->VGA/S-Video/Composite Video->Capture Device->USB/IEEE/etc->PC2->Video File

  @CiDaemon
  
  That sounds really cool. You should write a guide and post it in the guides. It will really help.
