Week 4: Video Tools for streaming comments

I took at look at this tutorial this week because I was having trouble adding video to dreamweaver. I found it useful to look through all the different sites that you could upload a video for free. I think people are most familiar with You Tub but Viddler and Blip TV are growing in popularity. I like Viddler because you can add comments to the move and tag them to certain spots in the movie. This is great for education purposes. In some situations using teacher tube might make people more comfortable with the video because it is supposedly for education. As far as the video streaming tools go, honestly I never thought about the difference between hosting and streaming. From what I can tell, hosting makes the video searchable and people can give feedback. Streaming is a direct link. I've used jing before to screen capture and send coworkers the link. It is a great way to communicate visuals without clogging the inbox with big files. Lastly, the You TUbe download tools section hosted a number of resources. However, I don't think it is right to take a video off of You Tube without permission. I guess if you had approval to take the video you could use these tools. This was great because all this time I thought you could right click, save target as, and download any video. I went to You Tube and sure enough I could not find a video where I could do this. :) I leran something new all the time!
