Uploading Video To Konafriends

The capability to upload video directly through Konafriends will not be available after December 17. Brightcove is discontinuing their service. I've looked all over the internet for a replacement and have not been able to find one.

After spending a couple nights way after midnight trying to come up with a solution. Here's what I know so far.

There are a lot of choices of places to upload your video to. In trying to keep this simple I'm only going to talk about Brightcove and Youtube.

BrightCove has the best video quality. But is not as easy to use as Youtube.

To get the best picture quality with Youtube, use a bland background with a tripod for the best results. If your back ground has a lot of detail it's going to degrade the video significantly. If you have a lot of movement in your video and you want the best viewing quality, use Brightcove. Brightcove has a learning curve, but I think it's worth it if you upload a lot of video. If you don't, just use Youtube, it's the easiest.

When I know more, or I find a better solution, I post it.
