Miro je besplatna open source video platforma koja mogućnostima odskače od konkurencije. Software se može skinuti na http://www.getmiro.com. Za sada nema mogućnost gledanja video zapisa real time već se moraju isti downloadati na kompjuter. Osim toga za njega je potrebno dosta memorije. Tko je kratak s memorijom - popizdil’ bude kod paljenja i korištenja Miro video platforme. Ima brzo i kvalitetno pretraživanje, bogat izbor sadržaja poput YouTube, Daily Motion, Blip.tv, Google Video i sličnih, stotine kanala u HD formatu, oko 200 kanala koji distribuiraju komercijalni sadržaj, preko 2.000 kanala nezavisnih kreatora sadržaja, svatko može kreirati sadržaj (kod Joosta ne može - oni sve kontroliraju), distribucija sadržaja kroz RSS/Bittorent/HTML…
Online video services could be just as open as the web, but for the past few years things have been moving in the wrong direction. We want to change that. Miro is designed to put viewers at the center of the viewing experience, rather than one particular video hosting company. This means creators can publish anywhere they want and viewers can connect to any creator they like. It’s the beauty of open-standards. These are the same principles that the internet itself is built on.
A, ovo mi se posebno dopada…
Three principles of openness
A. Open Access
Anyone who wants to create, should be able to create. With the decentralized structure of the internet, there is no reason to have gatekeepers that limit who gets to show their videos to the world. Miro is built to connect with any online publisher that has video RSS feeds, whether they are individuals or video hosting companies. If a creator isn’t being well served by their video publishing system, they can switch to another and still reach their audience in Miro.
B. Open Standards
Any web browser can view any website because the web was designed with specific standards that are open for anyone to use. This openness is what makes the web so much more vibrant than the ‘online’ systems that it replaced (Compuserve, AOL, Prodigy, etc.). Miro is built on several open standards, including HTTP, HTML, BitTorrent, and RSS.
C. Open Source
The source code that makes Miro work is open for anyone to read, change, and build upon. Just as the open-source Firefox has revolutionized web browsing, we hope that Miro will move online video in a better direction. Anyone who wants to make Miro better can do so.
