Particles, VpodTV and Trivop at VideoCampParis1
April 7, 2008 – 12:18 pmHi,
What a great week-end on Paris! All the trendy people were expected at the first VideoCamp.
A crowded place
Exciting ideas, nice projects and interesting debates about the video with many different subjects such as:
- Video Search Optimization with Thomas Owadenko. It’s a kind of teaser before the biggest event about VSEO. How to get the best rank for you video on Google and the search engines.
- New media, new format? What is the maximum length to optimize the number of views? Olivier Maurel from VpodTV dealt with many ways to improve the impact of video content on the best portal.
- How to be more visible on the Web? How to get more Buzz? I personally talked about multi-distributing/tracking tool like Hey!Spread. Increase the impact of your web video campaign, get a better rank and get more exposure.
So, the VideoCamp was fun, and get together many different people: bloggers, entrepreneurs, journalists. The best place this week-end to meet good people.
Rodrigo Sepulveda (Vpod) & Eric Fontaine (Particles)

Can’t wait for the next one!

We propose options to customize your watermarking, so have a look at the encoding options section if you use the API.
Or check the encode page if you use the graphical interface.
Hey!Spread adds Sumo.tv
October 3, 2007 – 4:33 pmHi People,
We’ve just added a new popular website, Sumo.tv, “The UK’s Leading Video Sharing Community”.
So, from now, spread your videos over 16 video platforms at a time.
Hey!Watch is now HD Ready
September 19, 2007 – 11:00 amHi People,
We are turning in. It’s HD time and the future is already here. One more time, following several demands, HD is available and you can encode in the highest video standards (720p, 1080p). Encoding in HD will just cost one credit more than normal standards. For the first 45 minutes it will be 2 credits and then 2 credits more for each additional 15 minutes.
For instance, for a video whose length is 90 minutes, you will have:
45 + 15 + 15 + 15, that means 2 credits + 6 credits = 8 credits. Now, give your videos a new dimension.
Hey!Watch breaks video length limit
September 18, 2007 – 2:16 pmHi People,
Following several demands of allowing to encode longer videos, we go through. Many of you suggest to pay more credits for this. It’s what we have done. For the first 45 minutes it is still 1 credit and then 1 credit more for each additional 15 minutes.
For instance, for a video whose length is 90 minutes, you will have:
45 + 15 + 15 + 15, that means 1 credit + 3 credits = 4 credits. Now, simply break your limits.
