Quotes

Thank you so much! This tutorial was fantastic and has got me up and running... I am really, really new to this stuff. But with the tools that Show in a Box has provided, I am actually able to follow and understand and learn. I had all these ideas in my head about what I wanted to do with video, but I just didn’t know how to implement them. Now I do, and I can’t thank you all enough. I haven’t been this excited about something in a really long time. — Tamara Mahoney

Show in a Box is a great idea and your time has come. There’s nothing like this anywhere — at least, there's nothing that I can find... Just watching and listening sparks off lots of ideas in my head about how this can be used. — Steven Sonsino of Boss.tv

Video is the only way I can truly express myself, the more I share it, the more others can express themselves as well, creating a utopia of artists. — Brian Gonzalez of Taxiplasm

Blip.tv Enables iPhone-Compatible Embeds

Heath recently started a discussion in our forums on whether we really need to publish multiple video formats now that Flash can play mp4 files. Several people are thinking along the same lines, and some have dropped the vPIP plugin in favor of the Blip.tv Show Player. Right on cue, Blip.tv announced that you can now create a Show Player that will work on the iPhone. And Mashable reports this means Blip.tv ads will now be viewable on the iPhone, which expands producers’ revenue opportunities. We’ve got the how-to for you right here.
