Good point; I try to clean up the thumbnails too.

I've emailed tubemogul support about adding some of the travel video sites including tripfilms. I would dearly love to see them there. Because we podcast from the road, I really try to cut corners when it comes to upload time: we often have poor access to the internet and limited time, so one upload to rule them all works for me.

I find that uploading/posting our video takes more time than editing it.

I'm the opposite! Maybe 1-2 hours of editing a 5 minute piece then...depending on the internet connection...3-4 attempts of time out errors et al. At the moment we have 5gig/month up/down limit at "home". Between six people. Try running a couple of websites on that!

Tubemogul! Holy crap! I've been thinking I should create a site like this... but thank god I don't have to! That's fantastic! Thanks for the link.

I'm considering using YoutTube as my primary, embedded video source. The reason I went with Vimeo originally was quality and they were the only place at the time doing HD. YouTube video quality sucked. Now that YouTube does HD, it is hard to go anywhere else.

I might use TubeMogul to upload to multiple sites to get some social networking effects, but I'll only embed YouTube. Nothing can even approach the number of views you can get on YouTube. Nothing. So long as they keep up with the quality and features, it will be hard to ignore it.

If you want people to actually watch what you are doing there is iTunes for subscribers, YouTube for raw numbers, and everything else is an counting error.

Awesome feedback everyone. I'll give tubemogul a crack as I'm a little over Youtube at the moment and as Craig knows, having nightmares getting the quality right.

I'm also going to play with Vimeo and have that added as an option in WorldNomads.com travel blogs as the quality seems to be outstanding.

We managed to retain the internet rights from Nat Geo Adventure on our Positive Footprints documentary series, so now we've just finished the last two ( live next week), we'll go bananas distributing.
