I was messing around with Ustream.tv when I noticed an ad on the side for Heywatch and Heyspread. I have used media-convert in the past to convert video free of charge. The downside of the free service is that there is no archival function. I’m willing to pay for conversion, but am generally adverse to monthly subscriptions. Hey!Watch overcomes this hesitation. You can buy credits for conversions. They charge 10 cents per conversion. The minimum amount of credits you can buy is 10, which comes out to $1. Of course, if you seriously want to use them for your work, you would stock up conversion credits. For me, it would help avoid having to buy video conversion software.
Hey!Spread is the technology that Ustream uses to syndicate your video content. So, that is another service that would come in handy. I figure I’ll use both in the future.
