MenuWhat are the affordable video hosting services similar to vdocipher, that provide encrypted video streaming options?
We want to share training videos on our new website. I want to ensure that users cannot download these using any 3rd party browser extensions or services just as they do it from youtube or vimeo. I found vdocipher which provides such Encryption, Any more such services? Seeking a low budget option since videos will be available free for students.

I would recommend that you check out http://wistia.com/ - I use them for all my videos. Public and privately.
Thanks Thomas, I had already talked to Wistia support team before posting the Ques here. They do not provide any encrypted streaming service (similar to that of vdocipher), and they cannot ensure that the videos are not downloadable by using any 3rd party browser extensions/services. I am looking for something similar to what vdocipher provides.
Brightcove is a popular one, and one that we have heard good things about. https://www.brightcove.com/en/online-video-platform/delivery

Youtube, Vimeo or Wistia , which one is a better option for Launch Page?
I highly recommend YouTube. You can configure the embed video to hide the YouTube watermark, autoplay, hide the controls, and hide all related videos (that show up after the video is done playing). This will make your video look amazing on your launch page. Here is a link on how to configure the YouTube embed code parameters - https://developers.google.com/youtube/player_parameters If you do your keyword research and optimize the Title, Description, and Tags when uploading to YouTube you can take advantage of more search traffic from Google and YouTube.HM

We know videos 'should' be 1-2 mins, but our homepage video has many key msgs. At 2.50 mins we're happy with it. Is this ever acceptable?
A 2 minute explainer video is like being chained to a wheel of injustice. Seriously :) when did you manage to get through a 2 minute video without leaving or skipping? 1min to 1.5mins TOPS. Break the other deeper aspects into short form video explanations or separate the feature set out as a separate video. Homepage video: 1. Help the viewer identify with the problem 2. Ask leading questions (creates a curious mindset 3. Tell them about the solution quickly and the differentiator (now Bob can travel fro x>y 1.5 times faster and cheaper than any competitor whilst Joe, Shmo and Clet get to be drivers without a $1m medallion). 4. Summarize 5. CTA The rest you can explain in deeper pages with feature-set explainer videos(even shorter! Bite size chunks that make you want to watch more... Like eating some small tasty M&Ms)EE

How to batch watermark videos on a Mac faster than real time?
I remember that Adobe Media Encoder used to have options for water marking. Check that and possibly, but unlikely Apple Compressor out. Hope that helps!CM

Any advice / suggestions or reputable recommendations for how to videos?
Great question. I think you'll find that most video production companies are "reputable" however the bigger question is what kind of quality do you want and what is your budget? Having been a creative and video director for 20 years, I've seen budgets from $1,000 to $100,000 for videos, for widely varying types of projects. For a simple explainer you are looking in the realm of $500-$5000 depending the on quality and customization. There are places that charge more and do amazing work but those companies are typically creating work for bigger brands. Hope that helps.SM

How can I monetize my You Tube videos effectively outside of the website's own monetization?
Congrats on your steady growth on Twitter and YouTube - that's definitely a good sign that you're on the right track! Sponsorship, brand integration, product placement, reviews, and endorsements are all good ways to make more income with your YouTube videos. Sponsorship would be like a regular, ongoing company that is mentioned at the start and/or end as helping make the video/show possible, brand integration would be making a video based around the company's product or service, product placement would be using the company's product briefly in a video, a review would be sharing your thoughts on the company's product or service, and an endorsement could just be saying at some point that you found a company with a product or service that you like and think your audience would as well. Hope that helps and otherwise if you would like more information on any of those or ways to get companies involved, please feel free to request a call with me!JR
