StreetFire/Vidiac has the highest quality of any free video hosting provider out there. Case in point YouTube hosts videos at 320x240
330Kbps FLASH-V7. We do our videos at 428x321 and
528Kbps-FLASH-V8 (Our audio tracks alone are 128 Kbps). That said we understand that some content uploaders have chosen to use other video hosting providers and will continue to do so. In order to be more magnanimous and inclusive we are now allowing (on a trial basis) users to paste the "embed code" for third party video hosting services into our system. This way, if you have already uploaded your video to a service like YouTube, Vidilife, Veoh, Google Video, etc, you can just paste their provided code into our upload page. Please note that since we do not control the videos on their systems, these other providers may edit or remove your videos without our knowledge, so as always we encourage you to upload your videos straight to StreetFire. We alone can guarantee you the highest quality video streaming. Additionally since Streetfire/Vidiac is self-funded you do not have to worry about your content being jeopardized by the whim's of Venture Capitalists trying to sell your library to a large media company.
We're offering this service on a trial basis only, if we see uploads to Streetfire start to suffer, then we may remove this functionality, but hopefully this should be a win for everyone. You benefit from even more automotive content on StreetFire, YouTube and the others benefit from more exposure to content hosted on their service, and Streetfire benefits by growing the portfolio of content we can offer you.
