[lita-l] kaltura vs Vimeo

[Jennifer Vinopal]

Sure everything can be captured but there's a difference between actually
downloading video to your workstation (which YouTube and Vimeo are doing
when they buffer) and the ephemeral bits that flow when you have true
streaming (like Real provides, or kaltura can provide). Nyu uses kaltura
precisely because of this difference.

I would like to here more about this. This is the first time I have seen a
differentiation of "true streaming", and I haven't found anything else on
the topic.

It has always been my understanding that anything that shows up on a
monitor can be captured, which is why fully DCMI protected things generally
won't play on non-DCMI compliant monitors — monitors which typically use
HDMI and preserve the encryption chain. Of course, these can be captured,
as well. It is just a bit harder.

Thanks,

Cary

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
