Evaluating Embedded Video Players
As you might have noticed, I usually use the YouTube video player when I’m embedding a video in a blog entry. This is because YouTube is the ‘standard’ for embedded video, and certainly not because it is the best.
The best, in my opinion, is Blip.Tv
The videos retain more of their original quality, the screen size is more generous, and the player is cleaner looking. I’ve heard from a few people that they can’t see the Blip player, which means that all of the great qualities in the world are suddenly moot.
Please take a minute and complete this quick poll, and let me know which player you prefer, if you prefer any, and help me decide which format to keep using.
Answers will open in a new window.
Honestly, I like blip.tv. It’s a better quality than youtube by a long shot.. so much that I started using it myself.
I think the player is just too wide.. the previous post is screwy.. but I know I’ve seen it before on your blog and it’s fine.

I made it smaller, but now I think it’s TOO small. Someplace in the middle, there’s a happy medium.. a lot, of course, depends on the screen res and monitor size of visitors.
See now that looks fine to me.. it’s the same resolution I used on my last post… I have 1280×800
