I'm trying to settle on which one of these to use to host my whiteboard video... any input from somebody who has experience with both? is either working great for you and you'd recommend it?


Any info would be appreciated!

thanks

      They both offer a lot of the same features and if you just want to play videos and don't plan on using any plug-ins, etc. Then JWPlayer is easier. But as soon as you want to go beyond the basics, FlowPlayer offers a lot more possibilities

      Doesn't seem like a very objective recommendation!

      I have used both many times and they are both great products, in both cases you'll need to pay to remove the watermark (the older versions of FlowPlayer didn't require this and was thus a bit more popular for a while).

      If you are streaming video using Amazon S3 and Cloudfront then JW Player is a bit easier to use IMHO, I also find it easier to set up secure video for a membership site with it but I don't think that's relevant to your application.

      Good news is you can't really go wrong with either of them!

    Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.
