Congratulations, you guys. It looks awesome. I’m so proud of you!

That is Awesome. I will take advantage of all of your new strength, just like an industrialized nation and its immigrants.

Nice, however Revver still does not do the following:

1. De-interlace automatically interlaced DV video that’s uploaded by users who don’t know enough about video editing. Youtube can do that and it’s very important to do so IMO. Same video that looks fine on youtube looks terrible on Revver, simply because of interlacing.

2. Instead of giving us to download the video in .mov format, please for the love of God, keep the same format BUT use the .mp4 container. This way, we will be able to playback the files on MANY MORE devices (including the PS3, Xbox360, smartphones, PMPs) instead of just the iPod. Using the .mov container is NOT supported by most devices — even if the internal format is supported. This should be an easy fix for you and a huge gain for us.

3. The videos in their own pages and via the embedded code at 480pix wide LOOK scaled down (they have artifacts that appear only when scaling down video), e.g. here http://one.revver.com/watch/391723/ This is obvious when there is text in the screen. The text doesn’t look smooth. This means that you have a bug and you either encode in something like 482 instead of exactly 480, or your Flash window needs a few extra pixels. You need to play a bit with your sizes to make sure that both the vertical and horizontal resolution you ask Flash to render is zoom 1:1.

4. Add a licensing field. I usually license my videos to Creative commons “BY” license and I would like people to find free videos easier.

Please consider these points.

Very nice! Awesome, but one thing when I click on animals, my animals video did not turn up

Ngo,

We’re still working on building these categories, so if you have relevant videos and they’re not there now, they should be soon.

hey guys,

The new Revver looks great! such a nice clean feeling when i come to the site. keep up the good work.

Eugenia,

This update was solely to the Revver.com site and the supporting API - we haven’t made any changes to the transcoding system, however if you have example videos, I can certainly put that on the roadmap.

The mov container is essential for the advertising and tracking we include on QuickTime download files. We’re constantly looking at ways to improve this format, but there aren’t many options for advertising into mp4 containers today.

As for licensing, all Revver videos default to a Non-Commercial Distribution License (http://www.revver.com/go/tou/#10).

For the transcoding issues / suggestions, please feel free to send me an email at myfirstname at revver.com, I’d love to work with you on getting some of your concerns addressed.

It’s great but Revver needs to process it’s videos faster like YouTube and MySpace TV.
Monkey says stop breaking Revver.

I sent you an email about it.

Regarding the license though, my videos are under the CC “BY” license, not the non-commercial NC one. Besides, if the license is by default the non-commercial one then Revver does not have the right to use ads with these videos. I think you should rethink the whole licensing thing a bit.

Eugenia, as the CC non-commercial license says, “any of the above conditions can be waived if you get permission from the copyright holder.” When you sign the Revver Member Agreement, you give Revver and any affiliates (sharers/syndicators) permission to use your video commercially as part of Revver’s revenue sharing model. So it doesn’t violate the license.

The non-commercial provision still stands for anyone who is not part of this model (i.e. anyone that is not Revver or a Revver affiliate), and is there to protect creators from having their work used commercially without their permission.

Love the new improvements to the site, especially the video comments. Are you going to include text comments as well?

Your Flash Video Quality is So good, can you provide this player for my Website extremly use

Dudes…nice.
Can’t say I like the new ads, they look kinda crappy (especially the overlays)…

The site though, is awesomeness! I think you covered just about anything I’d have wished for in that sense.

Well done fellas!!!!

Peace to you all.

Looks Great! Great Job!

Congratulations,

I wish you all the best.

Rosie - uploading to Revver takes a little longer than uploading to YouTube or Myspace because we transcode all uploads into both Flash and QuickTime (gives you flexibility), and a real live human reviews every piece of content uploaded to Revver to prevent content violations and keep the network infringement free.

Becausewecan - text comments are coming too, but we haven’t decided exactly how we want to implement them yet (just on Revver.com or API-wide).

thanks a lot !!

LAL, if you want to add uploadability to your site you’ll need to use the Revver API. Developer knowledge is required, so I recommend looking at the documentation at developer.revver.com and then proceeding from there if this is something you have the resources to do. alternately, if your site is built on wordpress you can install the Revver Wordpress Video Plugin and allow users to upload video responses, but their videos will only exist as responses, not as standalone videos.
