Publish Video Online In One-Click: The Egg Video Publisher - Robin Good's Latest News: "By far, the most difficult step for any would-be online video producer, blogger or videomaker is the ability to master the idiosyncrasies of a multitude of different video formats, encoding and compression nightmares and the needs to serve the same content optimized for different users and connections. Nonetheless all the buzz around video blogging and the online video revolution, it still remains very hard for the layman and non-technical person to conquer and come to master all these many technical issues.

The Video Egg Publisher, is a new web-based service (Windows-only for now - Mac support coming next) that provides an ultra-smooth user experience to any would-be online video publisher. The Flash-based VideoEgg Player, is a "playerless" solution that does not require any external video player software like Windows Media player or QuickTime to be installed.

Once you access your online Video Egg account, capturing a video clip already downloaded in your computer or shooting a live commentary of yourself via your camcorder or webcam is also as easy as making a couple of clicks.

Streaming video means that the user that arrives in front of your video clip does not have to first download the video and then watch it, but that the user can click the play button under the video and can start almost immediately to watch its contents.

All of the video magic that Video Egg does it's realized with the power of Adobe/Macromedia Flash the ubiquitous media platform that can deliver graphics, animation, audio, VoIP and video to users on any operating system or web browser.

Video Egg takes full and best advantage of even the latest Flash capabilities accessible if you install on your computer the latest free Flash plugin (ver 8). In my initial tests with Video Egg I found the video quality to be quite good (especially if the latest Flash plugin mentioned above is installed). Even without the latest plugin video clips do stream almost immediately and their quality is at least on a par with what you get from services using the same technology (YouTube, JussPress).
