I bring to your attention a comparison of video hosting
sites such as
Google Video ,
YouTube ,
RuTube ,
Video.Mail.ru and the video service of the social network
Vkontakte.ru (due to its unhealthy popularity).
Immediately make a reservation about some things. Comparison made by me, a couple of days ago. The criteria that participated in the comparison are important, first of all, for me. With you, I just share, in my opinion, interesting information.
')
For me, the criteria are important, first of all, the speed of video download, the speed of video processing and the maximum amount of video uploaded through the web interface (Google Video allows you to download unimaginable volumes through the software installed on your computer).
More secondary is the ability to download videos via a link from the network and the ability to download videos directly from the webcam.
I was also interested in the quality of the video, but it is so little different that, as a comparison criterion, it is untenable. However, the results (subjective), I also show.
Compared with an interval of 12 hours, three nights and 15 hours of the day. My internet provider Corbina Telecom gives me 6.6 MB speed both ways (incoming / outgoing), and she keeps her speed. Moscow city.

Visual aid, for comparing video hosting. The picture is clickable, below the footnote.

* subjectively, does not participate in the calculation of points.
** time in format (min, sec). Errors are possible, plus - minus three seconds.
*** The maximum file size that can be downloaded via the web interface (we do not consider software on a PC).
It would be possible to compare dozens of parameters, but I was interested in precisely these, because other parameters are specific (for example, the ability to download a ZIP archive on Mail.ru, or an advertisement in commercials, again using Mail.ru as an example), or are available on any video hosting service, anyway (for example, the ability to download video, RuTube allows you to download in normal mode, for others there is software) or the parameters are individual (for example, usability).
I would be glad if you indicate in the comments (if possible) the speed of uploading the above-mentioned cartoon to video hosting by outsiders (
Google Video and
YouTube ), otherwise I’m a little amazed.
