Veoh Networks, Inc., the first Internet Television Peercasting Network, today made available more than 3,000 videos for easy download and transfer to Apple’s newest iPod. iPod owners can now fill up their entire device with video, free of charge, at http://www.veoh.com/
Veoh allows anyone with a computer and an Internet connection to broadcast their own TV show, or channel of shows, in full-screen television quality. Individuals and companies are broadcasting compelling content — from original cartoons, like Superman and Popeye, to comedies like The Three Stooges, feature-length films, and more than 10,000 user-produced videos on every subject imaginable.
“Veoh, combined with the iPod, is the perfect mix,” said Dmitry Shapiro, Veoh CEO in a statement. “The iPod lets you take your video wherever you go, and Veoh gives you thousands of free videos, no matter what your interest may be.”
This new capability provides the easiest way for consumers to get Internet Television to their iPod and provides video publishers of all sizes with a single publishing platform to make content available to the world. Support for additional portable devices is coming soon.
“Portability is a major step in providing consumers the ability to control their viewing environment,” says Allen Weiner, research vice president for Gartner, Inc. in a statement. “The ability for users to create program feeds and download content from the Web and view it on devices other than the TV creates a content foraging experience that will dramatically change the long-standing paradigm for TV and video distribution.”
Veoh software, installed on a consumer’s PC or Mac, creates a virtual television network able to distribute TV-quality, full-screen video to hundreds of millions of users with broadband connections. Motion picture studios, television networks, organizations and individuals can publish unlimited amounts of video content to the network, providing consumers with unparalleled choice in television programming and control over their viewing experience.
Unlike rogue P2P networks used to share mostly pirated video, Veoh is a community of publishers and consumers, where published content is approved by editors, and consumers are assured they get what they request. The system also integrates tightly with RSS, providing content producers with easy publishing to multiple video systems. For more info on Veoh, see the Veoh Tour Video at http://www.veoh.com/tour/

I need Porno NOW!
and… their site is down.
Has anyone noticed that we seem to be getting closer and closer to the world depicted in the old TV show ‘Max Headroom’?
I need 60 GBs of pron, ….. in my pocket…
Is it April Fools again? All I see is a blank page.
Is it
Is it
Is it
me or is this website a bit myopic?
Sorry about our corporate site being down for a few min. It is back up.
– Dmitry
this looks pretty cool, will definatly give it a shot tonight
Hey TT
isn’t “pron” really spelled “prawn”
as in King Prawn
” to the beack okaaaaay”
and why would anyone want prawns in their pocket anyway
we shall call you “Stinky man”
corporate page is up, can’t open the download page, seems like the site is down or it’s got a lot of traffic
I have to admit, this looks pretty intriguing.
Does Apple know about this? Because these people look like they’ve done a great deal of work already.
big deal
the imovie video store will have all this and more , come next year
I’d love shellfish in my pocket
Free for now, then later you’ll have to pay $15/month for a subscription. I think they left that part out.
“the imovie video store will have all this and more , come next year”
That’s fine for you, flappo, but aren’t you forgetting that there are millions of us in countries around the world that still have no access to the video store – and probably won’t for some time to come.
For us, this is very interesting.
ok, finally downloaded the software. Installed and went to the site.
software looks nice, clean. Content on the site is good, lot’s to choose from, if a bit gen y heavy.
then comes the problem. 2 of them.
#1 I downloaded two videos, went through the whole process, and they are nowhere to be found on my computer. Also, there is no way in the preferences settings to configure where on your computer you download the files too, so I can’t even use that to see where their software sent them. I even did a search for “.avi” on the computer as one of the files was an em-n-m ipod add (that I’ve already got anyway)…. it wasn’t anywhere on the ‘puter.
#2. When you click on a movie to preview it, it opens quicktime in OS9, and the movie never actually played.
I doubt it’s my computer causing the issues because I download and edit video all of the time.
overall and nice idea, but buggy, and it doesn’t work yet.
MDN word is “reason”… as in just another reason for apple to get going on movie content at the itms.
It puts the files in a hidden folder on your main HD which you can’t switch or access.
Also you have to use the terminal to uninstall it!
Not very promising, I give it 2 thumbs down. 🙁
ok, their instructions for the terminal uninstall didn’t work, so I used resedit to get rid of the unwanted files.
should MDN take a more careful look before announcing this kind of stuff? or is it always user beware?
if anything sounds too good to be true, it usually is.
Go ahead and download all the movies you want “FREE”
They log your IP address and some day you will pay for what you downloaded, if you join the club.
If someone requires that you download their software solution in order to access content, it’s usually bad news. Pass.
free viPod porn here
http://homepage.mac.com/hogfish/
tell me if it works, my viPod is on order.
Most of it is .wmv crap too…
yes. somehow your ip will never change over the period of the next year. They dont even have DRM built in yet. Im pretty damn sure they arent going to try to charge you for things thats are free now. When I published my vlogs it asked what licensing i want. So the user gets to decide how the licensing works. Free vs charged.
My app is working how expected. When I download something it shows up in the iTunes rss and then i transfer it to my ipod. Maybe server load?
I personally like the idea… question is… will it fly?
btw for the guy that asked i think the files are downloaded to program files/veoh on windows no idea on mac.
Please do not endanger yourself and others by using your ipod porn in public restrooms. No skeet in the eye. It can cause temporary blindness.
