About 3 months ago I did a review of TubeMogul Destinations, a no-cost service that converts your videos into web-ready formats and delivers them wherever you want. However, at the time Destinations didn’t allow you to adjust the quality of your video conversions and didn’t support Amazon S3. Now they do. And in this video, I show you how it works.

Dave,
It’s nice when someone actually listens to your gripes, like TubeMogul has done. Really appreciate the update.
Dave,
Thanks for the update!
Sometimes the standalone applets don’t do such a great job with transcoding.
Will this conversion retain any clickable hot spots in the video?
Howard
@Howard – Clickable areas in videos are controlled by the video player, not the video.
Hi Dave,
Have a question for you regarding Amazon S3.
There is player software that allows you to use Amazon S3 – such
as Mike Stewart’s S3 Media Player software. You are given html
code and you paste that code into your web page.
What is to prevent someone from simply going to “View Page Source”
and grabbing that code and pasting it where they want? It seems like
there is a security issue here that could cost me money.
Is there any way to protect an Amazon S3 video, or the code that is generated
from certain players so that the video code cannot be copied by others and used
to play my videos on their websites?
Thanks Dave for any help you can offer.
Harry
@Harry – You’d need to use a product/host/CMS that allows you to prevent embedding videos on different domains (where you can specify whether or not a video will play, when embedded on different domains). You can also prevent people from downloading videos on S3 to their computers, but it can get complicated. Even then, all someone has to do is use screen recording software to record your video when it plays, if they really want to steal a copy.
Thanks Dave for another informative video.
Talking of video distribution, do you have any thoughts on Traffic Geyser?
Axl
I always enjoy learning what other people think about Amazon Web Services and how they use them. Check out my very own tool CloudBerry Explorer that helps to
manage S3 on Windows . It is a freeware. http://s3.cloudberrylab.com/
Hi, I am the Marketing Director at HeySpread.
Thanks for this good article.
That is true, Tubemogul is one service.
But you should really have a look at HeySpread for Professional Video Analytics and Video Distribution – http://bit.ly/5mD1CL. Far cheaper, with exclusive features such as YouClone (copy/paste your YouTube videos to any other platform automatically and in one shot), powerful and user-friendly interface, REST API for an easy and fast white label integration.
Dave, Thanks for the update. Always enjoy your contributions.
Dave Hi” My name is Kelvin Wilson i have a couple of questions there were video sharing sites that were locked on the video how do you get them unlocked and my other question is tube mogule has a preset list of sites that you can submit to and i understood the video to a point on how to add more destinations but if you wanted to deliver your video to a site like bestonvideo.com or kewego.com could you do a video on this or go into some detail on how it is done. Thanks Kelvin
Dave i know that ftp stands for file transfer protocol but if i wanted to use tubemogul to send a video to kewego.com what would the custom destination ftp setting be i have used programs like filezilla before but would you need the ftp protocol to a site like kewego video?
@Kelvin – You’d have to contact Tubemogul or Kewego.
