The N95 is purported to have great video. Our default video dimensions after transcoding are 480x360, and our video quality is generally considered top shelf, so I think you'll be pleased with the way we handle your video files.Jason CarlinFri, 27 Apr 2007 16:28:29 -0000http://pauljacobson.org/2007/04/26/revver-a-cool-alternative-to-youtube-and-others/#comment-1673654Ah, yeah.

I really enjoy using your service so far. I like the revenue share bit and the use of CC licenses (our content is licensed using CC licenses). I actually plan on doing more video when I get my Nokia N95 with its 640x480 video.PaulFri, 27 Apr 2007 13:54:16 -0000http://pauljacobson.org/2007/04/26/revver-a-cool-alternative-to-youtube-and-others/#comment-5859104Hey Jason<br><br>Thanks for your comment.

I'm sorry you happened to stop by Revver while our IT Monkey was passed out on the job. We keep our uptime over the 99.9% mark, so this was unfortunate timing indeed.<br><br>The one thing I'll take the time to say for Revver, is that we're pretty universally considered to be the site that pays the most, and pays most fairly. We share 50% with video creators, and we leverage Creative Commons licensing to make sure the creator is not just well paid, but well protected.<br><br>If these are things that are important to you -- and they're not important to all video creators -- we may be the best option. If not, we'll look forward to seeing who you choose and what we can do to improve our game.Jason CarlinFri, 27 Apr 2007 13:46:00 -0000http://pauljacobson.org/2007/04/26/revver-a-cool-alternative-to-youtube-and-others/#comment-1673652Oh no!

They also pay for videos but based on views, and they have a much larger audience as well. Just my 2 cents. :-)JenFri, 27 Apr 2007 13:10:10 -0000http://pauljacobson.org/2007/04/26/revver-a-cool-alternative-to-youtube-and-others/#comment-5859102I like Revver okay, but I like Metacafe better.

Ultimately you'll get them if I have anything to do with it.<br><br>At the same time, I am enjoying my experiments with Revver and Vimeo. There are some nice little things on both sites which take standard video sharing a step or two further and which distinguish them.PaulThu, 26 Apr 2007 17:33:30 -0000http://pauljacobson.org/2007/04/26/revver-a-cool-alternative-to-youtube-and-others/#comment-1673649Hey Jason<br><br>The videos haven't been uploaded anywhere as far as I know.
