This is an Update on our video capabilities.

Video is a very expensive feature to support and hard to do well. So we leverage others who have done it well in various ways.

Orbius has implemented support for pulling in links to videos hosted in various places like Google Video, You Tube, Magnify.net and Justin.tv. These for FREE and your video are also virally distributed within those networks.

We have also integrated with www.screencast.com for Orb Owners who wants to avoid the ads in public video hosting sites and has basic video hosting needs and is focussed on delivery primarily to North American audience.

For those who needs wider distribution, we also have a reseller relationship with www.hostmysite.com which provides a lighter version of the Limelight offering on its Content Distribution Network(CDN) for those with small-medium amount of videos.

For those with substantial video requirements, please feel free to contact Orbius directly so that we can help find a proper solution.

The biggest issue I see with linking to YouTube and other external video hosting sites is that of advertising. I haven't reviewed the advertising options of the many video hosting sites in the last three months, but some organizations (such as non-profits, school organizations, many for-profit entities, etc.) will definitely want to control what ads appear within their sites, next to their videos, etc. Perhaps you could strike a deal with Brightcove or Limelight to give organizations an option to more completely control how co-located advertising is handled.<br>
