On which subject, these lot look interesting, although I think there are
others out there doing similar.

Whoever you go with, I'd suggest that offering some sort of transcript
as a word download would really help in accessibility terms.
It would be really great if online video actually had subtitling as
well; difficult for live streaming, but for legacy content it should be
easy enough to arrange subtitles.
At the excellent National Digital Inclusion conference in 2010 there
were live web streams with subtitling to the stream added via a
palantypist (a live [ie. human!] speech to text writer).
All the best

Subject: Video Streaming
Do you have recent experience of outsourcing the delivery of streaming
video?
I'd love to hear:
* which providers you shortlisted
* what were the crucial factors in making your selection
Here at the National Gallery we're looking to improve online delivery
of our video content. Currently, clips are provided as progressive
downloads directly from our servers in London but we believe we could
improve the user experience by using a specialist hosting service.
If you'd rather reply to me off-list I'll post up a summary of
responses in a few days time. Thanks in advance,
Richard Allen
Systems Development Manager, The National Gallery.
