Tech Sharing Blog

I just started my new blog call (Share A Video) recently and the blog is mainly use to share all the video with my reader. And the video source are mainly the video I found is intereting from other web site such as facebook, youtube, and etc.

But I do face a problem where facebook don’t allow you to actually embed the video into other web site, after I googling for a while and finally found the script that help you to embed the video.

Every video uploaded on Facebook has a unique ID that you can find in the browser’s address bar (look for the value of parameter “v”).

Copy that number and replace it with xxx in the code below.


<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="400" height="224" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.facebook.com/v/xxx" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="224" src="http://www.facebook.com/v/xxx" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"> </embed></object>

From now, you may watch the video from facebook in your web site or blog without need to register or log in into facebook account.

Youtube may offer the pay movies to the public in the near future. Currently youtube is still in the mid of negotiaions with the major Hollywood studios for the deal to offer pay per watch for the full-length movies.

If the agreement is reached, this will be the major revolution for YouTube which has built the huge audience by offering the free video clips and earn most of it revenus from online advertising. With the deal, this will put YouTube to directly compete with the services provider such as Netflix, Amazon and Apple, which currently allow their customer to buy or rent movie.

One way YouTube is making itself more TV-friendly is by including an auto-play option that lets viewers watch related videos in sequence, without the interaction required on a computer

Initially, YouTube on Television (http://www.youtube.com/tv) is available as a beta test through Sony PS3 and Nintendo Wii game consoles, in 22 countries and in 12 languages. Additional devices are likely to be added in the future.

YouTube began its migration from the computer in the office to the TV in the living room in June 2007 via Apple TV. Other device makers like Sony, Hewlett-Packard, Panasonic, TiVo, and Verismo soon followed Apple’s lead, aided by the addition of new APIs for partners and external developers in March 2008. 

YouTube’s aim in providing APIs for developers is “YouTube on any screen, any time,” as the company puts it. 

What’s less clear is whether anyone is watching YouTube on TV. TVs, after all, tend to have access to professionally produced content that people, not to mention advertisers, will pay for. Such content presumably fares well when competing for viewers against less-polished amateur videos on YouTube. 

A YouTube spokesperson didn’t immediately respond to a request to provide statistics detailing the number of people viewing YouTube through televisions and other non-PC hardware.
