Shopping on line can be easy, simple and save you lots of money. It can also take a lot of your time, frustrate you, and result in unwanted purchases. Now the same can be said for regular high street shopping, but with the vast opportunity presented by the Internet it will pay you to spend a few minutes reading this and understanding how to better optimize your Veoh shopping experience:

1. Compare - without doubt the biggest advantage that the Veoh offers shoppers today is the ability to compare thousands of Veoh at a time. This is a great thing, but not necessarily all the time! Too much can be daunting at times so take advantage of the great comparison sites and where possible let them do the hard work for you.

2. Research - if it has been said it will be on the internet. Ignorance is no longer a justifiable reason for buying the wrong thing. Take the time to research in detail everything that you could possible want to know about

3. Testimonials - don't know anybody that has bought a Veoh? Wrong! If the Veoh is good the internet will let you know. Use the Internet as a friend and get testimonials before you buy.

4. Questions - Got a question about Veoh then search the Forums, FAQ's, Blogs etc. Don't be afraid to ask .....

5. Reputation - Never heard of the company selling Veoh? Don't worry, no reason why you should know every company in the world, but you know someone that does! Use the internet to find out what people are saying about Veoh and build up a picture of their reputation for sales, returns, customer service, delivery etc.

6. Returns - still worried that even after all of the above your Veoh wont be what you want? Check out the returns policy. There is so much competition now that someone, somewhere is bound to offer the terms that you are comfortable with.

7. Feedback - happy with your Veoh then let people know, after all you are depending on others people input in your buying decision, so why not give a little back.

8. Security - check for the yellow padlock on the Veoh site before you buy, and the s after http:/ /i.e. https:// = a secure site

9. Contact - got a question about Veoh, or want to leave a comment then check out the sites contact page. Reputable companies have them and respond.

10. Payment - ready to pay for your Veoh, then use your credit card or PayPal! Be aware of companies that don't accept them, there may be genuine reasons but given the huge amount of choice you have when buying online there is no reason at all not to buy via credit card or PayPal.

{{Infobox Website|logo =|screenshot=|name = Veoh.com|url = http://veoh.com/|type = Video Distribution Website|registration = Free|owner = Dmitry Shapiro, CEO]-based company that has created a peercasting network for video clip distribution.

Unlike other video distribution networks such as YouTube, the company distributes video clip content in its original format, rather than transcoding to a lower bandwidth and lower quality version. Due to this technology, a software download is required to download videos, or view some videos in full quality. The website also offers a YouTube-style Adobe Flash video player that can be run from within a web browser.

The company received media attention after Michael Eisner (ex-Disney chairman) joined the board. In April 2006, he was one of the investors (along with AOL Time-Warner) in the $12.5 million second round of financing for Veoh. The company has received further media attention recently by filing a lawsuit against Universal Music Group seeking an advisory judgment from the Court pertaining to allegations that Veoh is a massive copyright infringer. In turn, Universal Music Group sued Veoh in Los Angeles in September 2007, claiming that the service infringes the copyrights of its artists by inducing users to post unlicensed copyrighted material such as music videos.

History Veoh was founded in 2004 by Dmitry Shapiro. The company launched an early version of its distribution technology in September 2005 and debuted its full beta service in March 2006. Veoh officially launched (out of beta) in February 2007. Veoh has raised $15 million from venture capital and media investors. Time Warner, Michael Eisner’s Tornante Company, Spark Capital and Shelter Capital Partners are all major investors.

In addition to the user generated content that Veoh broadcasts, Veoh has distributed content from media companies including Billboard, TNT Networks, the CW Network, New Line Cinema, Bennet Media, Paramount Pictures, US Weekly, TV Guide, and others. Independent creators found on Veoh include Doogtoons, Can We Do That?, Goodnight Burbank, and Dave and Tom.

Long videos cannot be streamed over the Internet, but can only be downloaded. A 5-minute streaming preview is available. As of June 2007, this applied to any video over 45 minutes; previously, the limit was 60 minutes.

Similar to other web video sites, content on Veoh includes copyrightedmaterial. Veoh has yet to draw the attention of Hollywood as most of the focus todate in this area has been on bigger sites like YouTube, Google Video, and MySpace.. In a bold move, Veoh has sued Universal Music Group.

Viewing options Veoh offers two viewing options. The Veoh Player is a peer-to-peer based software application that enables higher quality viewing. Viewers can use a media center remote control with the Player, and connect it (through a PC) to their television. The Player is similar in concept to a digital video recorder. Videos from any website can be downloaded and saved for later viewing. An Internet connection is not required to watch videos saved to the Player. Viewers can also subscribe to RSS feeds, publishers, or channels, and automatically receive new content delivered directly to the Player. The Player can also download BitTorrent content.

Viewers can also watch streaming web video on Veoh.com without the need to download the Veoh Player. Although, somewhat like YouTube, Veoh.com has capped the streaming of videos over 20 minutes to the five minute previews. Veoh.com hosts a range of programming, from user generated content to studio content.

Publishing videos Publishers can use their PC to upload videos for distribution. Veoh transcodes the video file so the video is available in the Veoh Player application, on Veoh.com, streamed on the publisher’s own web site, in portable devices like iPods and Sony PSP, and on viral video sites. Publishers are able to customize the presentation of their content, automatically publish via RSS feeds, organize video programming into episodic series or complete channels, and offer content for sale.

A free account upgrade to Pro status allows the publisher to access the syndication system, allowing their uploaded videos to be automatically transferred to Youtube, Google Video, or Myspace. Publishers can also see number of views, downloads, and comments from the other sites on their "My Videos" page.

Technology Veoh uses both peer-to-peer (for its Player software application) and Adobe Flash-based streaming video (for its website) technologies. Veoh claims its use of peer-to-peer in the Player application enables distribution of longer form and higher quality video files at a much lower cost.It also means that bandwidth costs will not rise in direct proportion to the number of users.

According to the official website, Veoh is Free Software, but is, by definition, proprietary freeware.

Recommendations Veoh’s recommendations engine is intended to enable viewers to find content that interests them. The recommendations engine was built by co-founder Dr. Ted Dunning, Chief Scientist for Veoh. Dr. Dunning also built the music management and recommendation system at Musicmatch (now Yahoo! Music). Veoh recommendations are based on user behavior. As users watch, rate, and download videos, the Veoh recommendation system ‘learns’ what interests the user and presents more video choices that meet similar criteria.

VeohTV Veoh Inc. currently has a program that is called VeohTV that allows users to view videos from websites without even using a web browser. It is like a combination of Joost and Youtube. It allows you to watch videos from anysite and watch them, download, or more. It has all the features of the Veoh player like downloading and watching full screen videos. But VeohTV has a search feature to search, watch, and download videos from video sites, an interact mode which features the ability to use widgets for things like time, calendar, stock market, and even a web browser. The program is currently in its Beta stage. Previously it was an invitation only beta, but now the Beta is open to the public. There is a version for Windows and Mac. The VeohTV license agreement permits VeohTV to delete any downloaded videos that infringe on a content owner's copyright.

Controversy & Critism On October 3rd, 2007 for its web based video player any video over 20 minutes will only have a 5 minute preview. The previous limit was 45 minutes. To view the full video content of longer videos users are now required to download and install VeohTV on their computer. This veohTV player is currently only operational on Windows 2000 SP4 / XP / Vista operating systems and has lead to extreme controversy as expressed by users in the Veoh forum since it effectively shuts out viewers using alternative operating systems such as Linux. In addition, criticism has also been raised in that Veoh has generally exploited its large user base to enter the web TV arena, since by the forcing of its many existing users to install VeohTV in order view content over 20 minutes, Veoh has successfully created an initial large user base for VeohTV. This issue has also been frowned upon in light of the fact that Veoh's past success has been largely built upon the video contributions of its many users, yet Veoh has never offered its users any say in the matter.

Many have also complained at the inflexibility of the beta software, mainly the slower download speed compared to the original streaming video and the limit of downloading/watching one video at a time, and the poorer quality video and sound compared to the original streaming video.
