Great and new tv show sites and popular video clip sites like hulu, zoogatv and tidaltv are perfect examples of professional entertainment sites that do well with quality content and branded ads.

Now you'll be able to watch YouTube videos right on your TV (but do you want to?)! Have to admire Google's reach though. By the way, YouTube has also inked a deal with TiVo.

It'll be interesting just how the punters take seeing adverts... I mean - what if the video is only 10 seconds long? With a 20 second advert in front of it... It would probably make more sense that an advert be placed in front of videos that have a more viral nature - e.g. once they've reached 10,000 views (or something like that) they automatically append an advert in front of the clip. If it's too intrusive, I bet people will look elsewhere for video content... But hey - I also bet that they'll be tracking the stats to the "N"th degree... That's my 2 cents worth! Dave Hi Dave…

I accept watching pre-rolls at quality sites like the BBC where the video content is always good. However, watching pre-rolls at YouTube and then the content of the video that you want to see is sub-standard would be annoying at least. As you said, it's the quality that counts. Dave.

They've got to pay the bills somehow and 15-30 seconds is worth putting up with if I get the content that I'm looking for. It's a heck of a lot less time that one would likely spend surfing around the same site or the web looking for that information (assuming of course the subsequent video delivers the goods). CNET does this all the time and I'm ok with it. I don’t think that the Pre-roll ads are a problem.
