What is the "Best Video Player?"
Hey Warriors!
I have created a decent amount of videos for a module style online course. I have done this before and just uploaded the videos to my server (or amazon) and then used OptimizePress to play the videos.
However, I now want something that:
1) ensures my videos are converted correctly so everyone can watch them in my membership course (and also my main sales video when they come to my sales page).
2) I want to encrypt the embed code so that even if people look at my HTML source code, they will not be able to find the direct link to my videos and download them.
3) I want whatever hosting solution I use (whether that's my website's host, Amazon s3, or another hosting option like Wistia) to be #1) scaleable and won't crash if I have a huge surge in traffic, #2) very reliable, ...#3) and also cost effective.
4) I would like to prevent other people from embedding my video and running up my bandwidth (or I would like an easy way to at least see who else is embedding my video so I can get them to stop)...
How would your recommend I accomplish these 4 things? Is there a solution or a combination of solutions you recommend?
Thanks a lot! I'd really appreciate any feedback.
(btw, here are some of either the video player or video hosting solutions I have heard of:
Top 3 I'm considering:
- Easy Video Suite (or the old Easy Video Player),
- Wistia
- EZ s3 (ezs3.com)
Also, these:
- OptimizePress's video player (I don't think you can
encrypt/hide the download links in the html if you use this though)
- Flow Player
- VooPlayer
- JW Player (longtailvideo.com/jw-player) <-- not an affiliate link
Any options on these or any specific recommendations based on the 4 things I listed earlier? Thanks again.
