[lita-l] kaltura vs Vimeo

[Jennifer Vinopal]

Vimeo and YouTube are download services (the video caches on your hard
drive. It's not true streaming). Thus Vimeo and youtube videos are quite
easy to capture using services like Keepvid (*keepvid*.com/).  Kaltura, on
the other hand, provides true streaming. So if security is a big concern
you should go with a true streaming service.

  Hello Everyone,



Our library always got request from faculty to convert a DVD into a format
on the web so that student can view in Blackboard.



So we are looking into a hosted platform for us to stream video and embed
into Blackboard.



I looked at Vimeo, Limelight and Kaltura.



It seems Kaltura is more enterprise level product. However because of the
high cost, we are thinking of using Vimeo. I have a couple of questions to
the listserv to see if anyone has used Vimeo before for your digital media.

1.       Does Vimeo work with blackboard? Can we embed vimeo video into
Blackboard?

2.       Does Vimeo allow we do our own branding if we buy the enterprise
level license?

3.       Does video secure? Since are going to convert copyrighted
materials, the security is a top priority.



I would love to hear any experience you have working with Vimeo or Kaltura.
Or any other vendor you recommend. Thanks,



Thanks!

Amy
