DVDs On Demand (CreateSpace)

Tyler Gibb
Posted
I'm usually a little late to pick up on new things but I found out about CreateSpace.com last week and it looks a little too good to be true...

Back in the glory days some of you may remember that MP3.com had a CD on demand service where you could upload your music tracks and art work and they would take care of producing one-off copies of your CD for customers who ordered through their site. It was a great little no hassle way for independent artists to be able to sell their music with no overhead; my "A Didgeridoo Christmas" did quite well seasonally, but I digress.

It seems that CreateSpace.com is doing the same thing with CDs as well as DVDs and books. And what's more is they're owned by Amazon.com which means that not only can you create your own online store to sell DVDs through your site but your titles will also be available on Amazon.

Is this all too good to be true? Cut out the middle man and sell your videos directly to your audience with no overhead? If anybody has had any experience with https://www.createspace.com please share!

Compression for YouTube

There was a post on the CrunchGear blog that Alex found that I find particularly helpful, and I'm sure the vast majority of you will too!

There are specific How-To instructions on compressing your video to get the most out of posting on YouTube.

Clip Blast

So I'm testing out ClipBlast.

You submit your RSS feed, then you can create a 1-click button to post on your blog, or where ever.


The front page boasts full episodes of NCIS, lots of National Geographic clips, MSN:Entertainment, and even a feed from YouTube's political channel, Citizen Tube.

I get the feeling my clip will get lost in the shuffle, but what's wrong with one more place to post your RSS feed.


Thoughts?
