Lab Excercise 7

While researching three of the top online streaming video players offered in todays internet,(youtube,Hulu, and Veoh),I observed many different characteristics of each site. I began by viewing videos one at a time on each site and making note of things like how well the video played, what options are offered while veiwing the video, any adds that I noticed, and any other unique featers I noticed while veiwing.
My first website to veiw a video on was youtube.com, this is by far the most popular video veiwing sites, so I expected this to show through its quality. When I begain watcing the video it loaded for less than two seconds and began with out forceing me to watch any adds or anything of that sort. I watched the entire video with out it stoping, and with excellent quallity the whole time. once the video was over related video popped up which I could then click on and watch them as well. Features the site included were: making the video full screen, controling volume, controling which spot of the video you can watch for example, you can speed it up or rewind it or stop it and then play it again. I find youtube my favorite site by far, while the other players try and offer the same things, youtube is just more interactive and user friendly.
The second site Hulu.com was a bit different from youtube but not by much. When you click on a video it takes you to that videos home website and then plays it for you. Before the video begings you are forced to wacth a 15sec advertising clip then the video begins. The video played without stopping and was good quality. Also all the features offered by youtube were all offered on this site, one of the differences was when the video ended instead of showing you related videos, the site showed you a new add and began the video again.One thing I didnt like on Hulu was that related videos are not suggested and the comments section on the video is not displayed like youtubes, it is a difficult proccess to become interactive with the video.
On the site Veoh.com veiwing videos is pretty much the same. I clicked on a video and a 15 second advertising clip begain playing instantly and there was nothing you can do to speed it up. The quality was the same as the other sites and the video played all the way through without pausing itself. featers offered were to watch the video in small or large, or you had the option of full scree. you can control the volume, pick the segment you want to watch and pause and play the video. Veoh does not display viewers coments or ratings like youtube, and I also noticed there was an ad on the side of the video, this is my second favorite site because of its structure and organization.

Section 2

Embeding videos on you tube is very quick and easy, although you do have to look to the side of the page for it. You find this option in the posters profile section in the top right of the screen. Once you clikck on the option embed you simply highlight the embeding and click copy, then moved it to my blog and clicked paste, simple as that.




Veoh offers the option of embeding underneath the video by the url adress. To embed it I simply copied and pasted it into my blog. This site put the option to embed in a slightly more noticable place than youtbe.

Hulu suprisingly was the easiest site to embed videos from in the box that the volume controls and playing option was a button that says embed on it. Once you click on this the information you need pops up infront of the video and from there you simply copy and paste it to my blog.
-actually after looking at my blog I realized embeding from hulu didnt work for me so here is the link to that video.
