Sony to blame tube sites too?

DannyCox · 05-21-2009

The problem with the streaming video solution (other than is you can see it, you can grab it) is that the customers just hate it. To get decent quality out of streaming, you really need for the end user to have the bandwidth to handle the file. I've seen sites that do streaming video only, and I've yet to see anything with quality.

We retain our customers by offering our videos in a number of different formats, from low end mobile to full 720p High Definition WMV, MP4 and DivX files. The problem is that the videos are then easy to share. But I know I would lose half my customer base if I offered only a streaming solution, so I just have to put up with it.
