Destiny Media launches Clipstream video cloud service

VANCOUVER, CANADA: Destiny Media Technologies announced the commercial launch of its Clipstream video cloud service.

Clipstream will enable any non-technical corporate user to upload videos that will play on all modern browsers including TVs, tablets, phones, ebook readers and computers devices. Users can access the service at clipstream.com and my.clipstream.com.

Destiny Media CEO, Steve Vestergaard, said: "Clipstream offers a number of technical and financial advantages to both corporate users and consumers. The technology reduces costs by eliminating the need to transcode into multiple video formats and the need to host multiple versions of the same video file on specialized video content servers.

"There is no need for player plug-ins, therefore videos encoded via Clipstream 'just play' in any modern browsers and will reach up to 50 percent more users than current delivery methods. In addition, videos in the Clipstream format will not expire or need reformatting."

Visitors to clipstream.com and my.clipstream.com are able to download the free uploader software and use Clipstream's "drag, drop, and done" technology to upload their videos in a range of playing formats. The service automatically converts videos to the Clipstream format and uploads it to the cloud. Users will then receive a link that can be embedded into websites and/or distributed through email.
