VideoEgg's New Video Publishing Technology makes Online Video as Easy as Photos
VideoEgg's Solution Removes Complex Barriers to Putting Digital Video on the Web
HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif., Sept. 19 /-- Today, VideoEgg, Inc. unveiled the VideoEgg Publisher, a new Web-based video publishing technology that makes it easy for everyday Internet users to capture, encode, upload, and watch online video for the first time. A 'universal adapter' that captures directly from hundreds of devices and reads dozens of formats, the VideoEgg Publisher allows users to painlessly publish video that anyone can watch without worrying about player compatibilities, encoding settings, or extra software. VideoEgg announced the Publisher at the DEMOfall 2005 Conference, the invitation only, leading industry showcase for launching innovative technology products.
Currently, posting video online is complicated for users, requiring a highly technical understanding of formats, encoders, players and servers. The VideoEgg Publisher simplifies the difficult video encoding and posting process, allowing users to capture video directly into a Website from camcorders, Web cams, and mobile phones. It also accepts video files via a simple drag-and-drop interface. Before movies are encoded and posted, users can perform basic edits with the Publisher's simple editing tools.
Using this system, videos are immediately available for viewing online through the Flash-based VideoEgg Player, a "playerless" solution that does not require external players like Windows Media and QuickTime.
"VideoEgg is one of 65 companies invited to present at DEMOfall from hundreds of nominees," said Chris Shipley, executive producer of the DEMO Conferences. "The VideoEgg Publisher makes online video posting simple for everyday Internet users, providing a powerful new feature for communities and services across the Web. By simplifying Internet video publishing to a drag-and-drop process, VideoEgg removes key barriers to mass consumer adoption of the video medium."
"Everyday Internet users face tremendous complexity when trying to put video online," said VideoEgg Co-Founder Kevin Sladek. "Our unique solution, at last, makes posting a video as simple as posting a photo. We believe this simplicity will revolutionize the way videos are captured, edited and published, which, in turn, will dramatically change the role video plays online."
The VideoEgg Publisher is a lightweight browser extension, which adds video capture, encoding, simple editing and upload capabilities to a standard Internet browser. The result is new and creative opportunities to communicate and express video content online. Users can now:
