Nine Video Networks Shootout

Call it a streaming data battle royale, a video network smackdown of epic proportions - whatever. What does one do to top multimedia madness? Set the stage for Soapbox vs. YouTube vs. Break.com vs. Vimeo. vs. Jumpcut vs. Blip.tv vs. Metacafe vs. Revver vs. iFilm. That’s nine different video networks: all at once. Of course, if I was arguing with myself again, it wouldn’t be anything new. Instead - I decided to get into the holiday spirit and Jingle Bell your socks off. This time around, however, I hired a couple of assistants to help me achieve the effect I so desired.

Rinse and repeat.

If this page brings your computer to its knees, perhaps you need to upgrade to the new AMD Quad FX Platform?

Ok, I think you might have actually overdid it a bit on this one Chris!

First off “ouch!” That is what you do to drive someone mad…also you forgot the hidden, but Canadian video.ca/test.php (secret entry link…lol)

Useful, actually: I am using linux and… did you know flash player 8 is not supported?

Heh, for me is basically becomes the sound of a crowded room with shouts of “Hey!” every once in a while.

Neat idea. Though possibly the geekiest choral arrangement of that song I’ve heard. ;)

[...] Blog December 01Pirillo Player ShootoutChris Pirillo is a funny guy. But lately, because he has been having "snow days" in Seattle, he has had way too much time on his hands. First it was the The Three Video Networks Player Shootout. He compared 3 Embedded Players, with a creative twist.   Now, it is the Nine Video Networks Player Shootout - all with a holiday theme. Jingle all the way Chris..   [...]

Worked fine on Core Duo MacBook Pro. :D iFilm performed better streaming to Manila, Philippines.

You killed my PC!

Way too many Chris’s for one page.

[...] If you liked the last showdown of Google Video, YouTube and Revver, then you’ll love Chris Pirillo’s latest: This time, he’s taking it to the nines. Nine video networks (MSN Soapbox, YouTube, Breaky, Vimeo, Jumpcut, Blip, Metacafe, Revver and iFilm) all playing the same video of Chris singing Jingle Bells with his dogs. Ok, it isn’t as good as the original, because the videos aren’t yelling at each other (and in this form, we could have had a scene straight out of the Brady Bunch opener), but it is fun nevertheless. [...]

[...] The Jingle Vlog Social Experiment Welcome to the The Jingle Vlog Social Experiment. The idea from this came from an experiment that Chris Pirillo did with multiple videos playing on the same page. Then he made a Jingle Bells with NINE frames video and I thought it would be fun if lots of people particiapted and added to a video wall of Jingle Bells singers. Press play on each of these to have them play at the same time! What I’ve found is that you have to press PLAY on each of them, then PAUSE until they load, the PLAY again. To join in, upload your video to Revver.com with the title “Jingle Bells With (YourName). You can play the Chris Pirillo one in the background so you can be in sync with the others.

[...] These people are crazy and we love it. First, Chris Pirillo posted this schizophrenic video brawl comparing YouTube, Google Video and Revver. Next, he took to a whole different level with his maddening rendition of Jingle Bells, juxtaposing 9 different video players. Well the vlogosphere has taken up the meme and now you can be a part of the Jingle Bells medley. [...]

[...] Chris Pirillo is either the smartest guy around or the most annoying. Either way, he’s inspired this smart and annoying holiday effort now taken up by videoblog gurus Kevin Nalty and Steve Garfield. [...]

does a double take at the bat-emblazoned floor. Sorry for the uber-pixelised image, I couldn’t find a large enough picture. See, Batman trumps Superman any day. EDIT: Doesn’t everyone just adore geekiness? One woman explains it all, while her geek presents the most creative take on the online video wars. A must-see!

On his blog he compares 3 video hosting services: http://chris.pirillo.com/2006/11/27/youtube-vs-google-video-vs-revver/ I’ve not heard of revver before….but the world is much more complex than that: http://chris.pirillo.com/2006/11/30/nine-video-networks-shootout/

We are laughing so hard that our cheeks hurt. However… we feel that we must report you to the humane society, as we do not see a disclaimer that there were no animals harmed in filming this clip.

Is User Generated Video a Commodity?…

I’ve been looking over the last few months at vendors and platforms in the user contributed video space. It’s become, especially since the infamous Google acquisition of YouTube, a rather crowded category, with a number of vendors vying for…

Now, it is the Nine Video Networks Player Shootout - all with a holiday theme. Jingle all the way Chris..
