Huge favor to ask of you guys. You adult webmasters
run the absolute best STREAMING VIDEO SUBSCRIPTION
websites in the world. thats a fact.

I am rolling out a NON adult subscription based website.
I need some help with HOW to serve and stream my
video content. the videos will be anywhere from 3 minutes
to 6 minutes in length. I want to have about 5-10 videos
in a Free tour area and then i want to put about 200
videos in a Fee based area.

I am trying to understand the BEST appproach to hosting
and storing the videos on a server for my paying customers
to view.

here are some of the ideas that i have come up with.

brightcove:
amazing video platform, integrated ads, super expensive.

viddler:
white label solution, brandable player, decent pricing,
good anayltics. priced at around 1 dollar per gig of
bandwith and then gets down to about .35 cents
a gig.

longtailvideo / JWplayer
not to sure i understand this. i buy the player
and then hook it into a CDN or a dedicated box?

flowplayer
another player that i buy and then integrate in
with a CDN or dedicated box.

amazon cloudront?
really cheap bandwith

simplecdn with flowplayer or JWplayer
REALLY REALLY cheap bandwith.
too difficult to integrate.

What i am trying to do with EVERY aspect of my site is
go with the BEST IN CLASS type solutions. and in the
case of the video i want to find a solution that ALREADY
exsists that i can use.

my website is a custom wordpress blog. I want to
be able to integrate the video in so that it does not
get scraped (phantom frog or strongbox)? I want
to have a really nice embeddable player and have
it stream a couple different formats. including a nice
high def format.

I am billing and rebilling with the sister company
to CCbill so all my billing and affiliate rebilling will
be taken care of really nicely.

so, would anybody care to give me some insight
into "best practices" associated with streaming
video on a subscription based website?

i REALLY like the solutions like brightcove, but they
are VERY expensive. they have the anayltics built
in, adserver integration, etc..

and really like the prices of simplecdn but how
can i track video and integrates ads, etc.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP!
