Recently I was asked about the quickest, easiest and cheapest way to put video content online. I really like sending videos from cellphones that can record video. Unfortunately, Cingular has proven unreliable and the video I tried to submit this morning still hasn't made it. However, you can look at a video I sent from Kim's cellphone here (BlipTV) and here (Clipshack).

I also wanted to kick around recording straight from a webcam to a video sharing service. Here is what Hipcast posted to my blog.

(Note: I have a 7 day free trial. It will be interesting to see what happens to the video after 7 days if I decide not to spend the $10/month. My guess is the video will disappear.

This is my first test of the Hipcast Video Blog Recorder. I hope to be posting this as a test to several blogs that I use.

Hipcast is nice. I posted this to several test blogs:
Livejournal, Wordpress and Blogspot.

So, if I want a nice way to record from a webcam and post it to many different formats of blogs, Hipcast is a good way to go. However, at $10/month, it seems pretty high priced.

This is a webcam video recorded on Clipshack.

I tried the same thing with Clipshack. Clipshack's interface seemed a little easier to use. However, it didn't give me the ability to automaticly post to various blogs. I needed to cut and past some HTML to get this to work.

Another nice aspects of using Clipshack is that it is free.

I will continue kick around these tools and figure out the best tools to use for different purposes. Any feedback about different programs or services would be appreciated.
