The Spanish sector, following the footsteps of Hulu and YouTube
In the U.S., Hulu, a site launched by the industry, has succeeded in very little time to position itself as one of the fastest growing audiences, mainly due to its extensive catalog of series and movies, which are distributed free of charge and funded through advertising. YouTube, the portal owned by Google, has announced agreements with various audiovisual manufacturers, like Sony and Metro Goldwyn Mayer, asked for full movies. Not yet announced how users can access this content, but do not rule that includes a pay per view option. In the agreement, YouTube has taken hundreds of series and movies for their next issue. With this new model, YouTube wants to bet for new content as a means of financing and business, having become apparent that the videos uploaded by users are not business from the standpoint of advertising revenue. For the moment, like Hulu, this new content will be accessible only from the United States, being restricted by IP access to Internet users in this country.
Watch free new movies online
The audiovisual industry authorizes the issuance of movies and series on sites like Hulu, which are financed television advertising style. Despite all the disputes over whether to share movies on P2P networks is legal or not, you can enjoy free, and all of the law, series of episodes of current and older films at specific sites in the Web " What is the trick? Emitting advertising as if it were television and manage to attract advertisers that support the business. Thus, audiovisual multinationals adapt to the technological and social reality.The film industry is in a rush the moves seen in music. If it already exist a number of free music services a la carte, like Last.Fm, Deezer, Imeem, MySpace or Spotify, in the video field have also been adapted to new uses that have been created with the Internet and have reached agreements with several websites, although so far only officially residents can enjoy in the United States. One of the principal architects of this change has been Hulu, a successful initiative of News Corp and NBC, which began broadcasting in March 2008 opened with the purpose of distributing professional audiovisual Internet. NBC has used it as a channel where transmit their content over the Internet and simultaneously closed spaces was on YouTube and iTunes.
These services are funded by ads similar to those of conventional television, with an average of two minutes of advertising every 22 minutes of content. Hulu has also programs on Fox and has signed agreements with about 100 companies, including Metro-Goldwyn Mayer, Sony Pictures Television, Warner Brothers and Paramount Pictures. In this way, you can enjoy the latest episodes of shows like Heroes, 24, House, Family Guy, Prison Break and The Simpsons, and programs such as The Daily Show and various films. Between series and films, with more than 900 titles. The contents are organized into channels based on gender, with titles such as comedy, drama, music, sports or science fiction. This site is funded by ads similar to those of conventional television, though in smaller numbers, with an average of two minutes of advertising every 22 minutes of content.
High definition and widgets. Hulu offers the option to view HD content, thanks to flash technology and quality support this video format, and often includes English subtitles. It has also built custom, own the Internet, share content and embed them on blogs allows users. On the other hand, it offers more options through a series of widgets (applications that are integrated into blogs and websites of users) with multiple functions: to choose and watch programs or movies on, follow the episodes of a television series in concrete or be aware of what are the most viewed content. As a promotional tactic, on Hulu have been released a few seasons of the series rather than conventional television. Works have also been developed exclusively for this medium, as Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog. Also broadcast live two debates between the candidates of the U.S. election.
Other television channels. The other major U.S. television networks on their sites also offer streaming broadcasting, such as ABC. So you can follow in the popular Red Betty La Fea (Ugly Betty), Desperate Housewives, Lost or Grey's Anatomy. The same is true in the case of CBS, which broadcast shows such as CSI. In addition, CBS opted for Joost, the television project by the creators of P2P Skype, which has not finished materialize like application to install on your computer, and recently by TV.com. NBC itself, despite the boost Hulu, has its own website for this purpose, NBC Video Library. In Spain, the chains also post their content online. The bet more complete Spanish TV star and the Sixth. The public entity provides in paragraph TVE to the letter of the last programs and series issued both in La 1 and La 2. Here are all produced by TVE, as love in difficult times or Mira quién baila. For its part, the Sixth offers live sports and programs like I know what you did, Buenafuente o Intermediate. It also has an HD version of the same.
On the other hand, facilitates Antena 3 in place the viewing of shows like The internship, Los hombres de Paco, Lex or kills family, among others. So does Tele 5 with Sin Tetas no paradise, Aida or Camera Cafe, though with lower resolution. Four is the exception and not hanging on its website the full-length videos from any program, although fragments. There are also initiatives such as ADNstream.tv, which contains dozens of films, sorted by gender. It has some interesting titles like The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (pioneer of the "gore film"), The Snows of Kilimanjaro and some independent productions, but his record is short and low-resolution broadcasts.
How to watch Hulu from outside the U.S. It is clearly an unfair situation for the consumer, who is a prisoner of business interests. Both Hulu as the vast majority of home services in the United States restrict the visits of persons not resident in the country. To this end, based on the IP number that identifies each connection and that is linked to a particular country in most cases. This is a situation where platforms do not want to step on foreign markets or enter into trade disputes and rights, but that is clearly unfair to the consumer, who is a prisoner of commercial interests.
However, there are ways to change this attribute is that Hulu (and all services to establish similar limitations) think this is a U.S. computer. For example, using a proxy of that country, ie another computer to rule on the connection, or install Hotspot Shield, a free application funded by advertising. This program for Windows was originally designed to increase safety when making wireless connections. It works through a virtual private network (VPN) that performs the same function as the proxy system in this case and camouflages the original IP number.
YouTube seeks professional content for new movies
YouTube leads the online video broadcast, but can only sell ads in 3% of them. YouTube, which since its inception out for the videos created by its users, has also been adapted to changing starring Hulu. This decision has influenced the incessant drip of claims of cultural industries, which have pursued charges of material protected by copyright. YouTube leads the online video broadcasting and monthly transfers over four billion videos. However, as a sales manager said this company can only sell ads on 3% of the same, ie around 120 million. The reason is that many advertisers do not want to appear linked to certain videos are not professional or in bad taste. As said a netizen in a web forum for advertising professionals, "the last thing you want Coca-Cola is to appear in the video of a teen belching."To increase profitability, YouTube aims to sign agreements with the audiovisual industry, as did Hulu. To increase profitability, YouTube aims to sign agreements with the audiovisual industry, as did Hulu. In this sense, the company shared by News Corp and NBC can insert ads in its contents and, in 2009, as estimated by the Financial Times, could rise in revenues to YouTube. For this reason, the Google site has already signed an agreement with Metro-Goldwyn Mayer (MGM) to progress and to stream movies, and so does CBS, TV-series, or independent production company Lions Gate.
Sling, the combination with live TV. Sling.com is another website designed for the consumer to see series and movies streaming for free. It also permits an interesting combination with programs that will then issue live TV by SlingBox. This is a device that redirects Internet television signal or video physical home of each user so you can see anywhere. Sling.com has signed with CBS, Warner, Sony and MGM, and also take content from Hulu and independent producers. Fancast also offers streaming movies and free from played out by Hulu and its agreements with CBS, MTV and BET. The site, owned by Comcast, is complemented with other data, such as sharing, other products of the same style, related websites, a summary of previous chapters and photographs. Another option is located on TV.com, which brings together several suppliers, including Hulu, and bid to create a social network for viewers to comment on each broadcast live via a chat and capable of criticism of each content. It recently reached agreements to deliver products from Sony, MGM, PBS and Endemol.
Warner Brothers and others
The BBC is another example because it offers BBC iPlayer through more than 200 programs in principle only for the United Kingdom. On the other hand, Warner Brothers has created its own website to host your series, TheWB.com. Incorporates a new search engine to locate any sentence pronounced by the actors and go directly to that scene, and highlights because users can modify certain fragments of a series of online video editor. Among the best known are Friends, Smallville or Buffy the Vampire Slayer. The BBC, the British public broadcaster, is another example because it offers BBC iPlayer through more than 200 programs, in principle restricted to users in Britain. Other sites have only some free content for viewing on stream. So with paragraph Cynema of Lycos, for example, which highlights the chat for viewers to discuss the films. In Veoh can enjoy classics like Battleship Potemkin, but requires an extension in the browser, while Babelgum shines the hallmark of independent producers. For its part, Amazon Video On Demand, a rental service to download movies and series (for $ 1.99 each episode, for example), it also presents a small section of open access.
Joost and the lack of content. Joost was one of the projects focusing on the most promising online video. It originated as an application to install on the computer that made use of P2P technology to broadcast with enough quality. However, this model has not been set and a few months ago decided to move to your site, follow the style of Hulu, forget about P2P and foster a social network around them, allowing each person to identify with the name and password take into Facebook. The big Achilles' heel of this project was a lack of attractive content, whether in live broadcasts or movies or series, despite the support of CBS.
