Avot mV – BETA mobile video search
Rating: well, shiver me timbers another video mobile search!
by Bena Roberts
Hail the rise of the specialist mobile search engines. This time it’s Avot mV a mobile video search and discovery solution allowing users to watch and search video on the go.
The apparent benefits of the service are:
• Easy to use solution, letting users watch what they want by searching, discovering and choosing out of billions of videos from web, whether it is user-generated content, tech shows, comedy or sports clips.
• The solution lets user organize the web videos in the playlist and watch them on the go. The user can create/add unlimited number of playlists and manage videos on the mobile device. This allows users to watch what they want, when they want by converting their mobile phones to an entertainment jukebox.
• Avot mV does not require any video transcoding (a process to convert few selected video to the mobile format) that results into low audio/video quality and limited number of videos - used by current solution providers. Avot mV provides direct streaming from the original content provider resulting into high audio/video quality.
• The patented codec on the mobile client allow streaming videos with special technology to overcome network latency and bandwidth limitations. This codec understands multiple file types from multiple video sharing sites (content providers).
What does this mean?
This sounds like an on-device client or portal for video mobile fans. There is a downloadable client that will appear in the mobile applications section and allow users to watch or set up playlists for mobile video viewing at will.
Unlike other browser only video search services – users have to physically upload the software to view this. The press release boasts that “the solution does not require any transcoding of video” which is a no-brainer considering it’s an on device portal service with one-click access to the content.
I have to apologise that I simply haven’t got time to test the service today as I am on a deadline and have just had a lovely week in the sun working only the odd morning. But over the next few days I will download, take this for a spin and report back.
BUT I did find this – which provides screenshots of the new service.
