Dan Rayburn: 00:00 There's seven, eight years ago when we were all playing in this arena and trying to really figure out the business model today, this is big business. We have tens of billions of dollars at stake. This stuff has to work. It has to be right and there is a lot of pressure on these new conglomerates to make sure that the video workflows, they're building out work properly because it is truly the future of their business. And I think the great way to really drive that point home is just remember all the services that
Dan Rayburn: 00:25 launched say five years ago in the market. When the services came out, one, there was no investor day because investors didn't care what you were launching because at the time you weren't spending that much money and it was still a newish experience from a quality standpoint. Today, every single service that's launching is having an investor day where before the service is even out they're projecting to investors of when these services will become profitable. Talk about a shift in our industry.

Tamar Shoham: 00:00 No matter which application or which area of video compression and you know, image compression, video compression that we're looking at.
Tamar Shoham: 00:08 There is finally a growing awareness that without subjective testing you cannot validate your results. You cannot be sure of your quality of the video because at least for now it's still people watching the video. At the end of the day, we don't have our machines watching, at least not quite yet.
Dror Gill: 00:42 Hello everybody, and welcome to another episode of The Video Insiders. With me is my co-host Mark Donnigan. I'm really excited today because we have a guest that was on our podcast before today. She's coming back for more. So I would like to welcome Beamr's, own VP of Technology Tamar Shoham to the show. Hi Tamar. Welcome to The Video Insiders again.
Tamar Shoham: 01:06 Hi Dror, Hi Mark, great to be here again.
Dror Gill: 01:08 And today we're going to discuss with Tamar a topic which has been a very hot lately and this is a topic of a video quality measurement. And I think it's something that's a very important to anybody in in video. And we have various ways to measure quality. We can look at the video or we can compute some some formula that will tell us how good that video is. And this is exactly what we're going to discuss today. We're going to dis…

Why Cloud Gaming Matters to the OTT Industry
21 oktober 2019 · 50 min
Episode 28 of The Video Insiders features Beamr Founder & CEO, Sharon Carmel, talking about cloud gaming and why he sees it as an exciting frontier for pushing the envelope of video encoding technology. In the same way that streaming shook up the home entertainment video distribution landscape, we are entering a similar era with video games. For video engineers, the mechanics of encoding for a cloud gaming platform may appear familiar, but this is only on the surface. When the difference between winning or losing could come down to just dozens of milliseconds, many of the technologies and techniques that we use for video streaming today will need to be adapted. The cutting edge in video encoding and distribution is cloud gaming, and you don't want to miss this engaging conversation. Lees meer

Following is an undedited transcript of the episode. Enjoy, but please look past mistakes. Mark & Dror
Intro: 00:00 The Video Insiders is the show that makes sense of all that is happening in the world of online video as seen through the eyes of a second generation Kodak nerd and a marketing guy who knows what I-frames and Macroblocks are. And, here are your hosts, Mark Donnigan and Dror Gill.
Mark Donnigan: 00:22 Well, welcome back to the Video Insiders. It's so great to be here. Dror, how are you doing?
Dror Gill: 00:29 I'm doing great and I'm really excited to do another episode of the Video Insiders. I would say this is probably the best part of my day now doing the Podcast. Although, watching video all day isn't bad at all.
Mark Donnigan: 00:45 That's not a bad job. I mean, hey, what do you tell your kids?
Dror Gill: 00:49 So, exactly, this is [crosstalk 00:00:52]. I work part-time out of my home office and my daughter comes in after school and she sees me watching those videos and she says, "Dad, what are you doing?" So, I said, I'm watching videos, it's part of my work. I'm checking quality, stuff like that. Then she says, "What? That's your work? You mean they pay you to do that? Where can I get a job like that? You get paid to watch TV."
Dror Gill: 01:18 Now, of course, I'm not laid back on a sofa with some popcorn watching a full length movie, no. I'm watching the same boring video clip again and again, the same 20, 30 seconds segments, and I'm watching it with our player tool, with Beamr view and typically one half is flipped over like butterfly mode. And then, you're pausing on a frame and you're looking for these tiny differences in artifacts. So, it's not exactly…

DRM – Learning From the Past to Build for the Future with Christopher Levy from BuyDRM.
25 januari 2019 · 46 min
In this episode, we catch up with the President & CEO of the company who won the 2018 Frost & Sullivan Global Content Protection Entrepreneurial Company of the Year Award, where we talk about DRM and its ever-changing role in the video industry. Lees meer
Mark Donnigan: 00:00 This episode on DRM was so meaty, that we decided to jump right into a nine minute segment of Dror talking with Christopher Levy, who is President and CEO of BuyDRM, about how DRM technology fragmentation came to be, and the strategies behind DRM as a platform lock in. After this extended clip, we resumed the rest of the interview. You will definitely want to keep listening. Here's Dror and Christopher Levy.
Dror Gill: 00:35 This is really an interesting trend you're talking about. On one hand, you have these silos, and the silos include the software platforms, the hardware devices, the content, and the DRM mechanism, which is made by a certain, by a specific company. Now, some of these companies have interest only in parts of this type of ecosystem. For example, Samsung have devices, they have a software platform, they don't have their own DRM, and they don't have much content of their own. So, now this collaboration with Apple is bringing more content, a lot more content, to Samsung devices, and bringing a lot more devices to Apple's content. We all know, all of you know, the rumors about Apple expanding their content service to be much wider than it is today, so it really makes sense.
Dror Gill: 01:37 The topic you raise of which DRM will be used to enable this collaboration or cross-streaming of content between platform is really a very interesting issue. Another point you mentioned, which, you know, I can really resonate with, is the fact that standardization has happened across the video ecosystem in things, in components such as codex, packaging, controller mechanisms, manifests, things like that. And, DRM, although there have been attempts to standardize DRM, there has always been some intern…

Open source codec pioneer, Tom Vaughan, talks about the advantages & disadvantages of proprietary & open source technology. What he says may surprise you – despite which side of the fence you are on. Lees meer
The following blog post first appeared on the Beamr blog at: https://blog.beamr.com/2019/01/24/in-the-battle-between-open-source-proprietary-technology-does-video-win-podcast/
Video engineers dedicated to engineering encoding technologies are highly skilled and hyper-focused on developing the foundation for future online media content. Such a limited pool of experts in this field creates a lot of opportunity for growth and development, it also means there must be a level of camaraderie and cooperation between different methodologies.
In past episodes, you’ve seen The Video Insiders compare codecs head-to-head and debate over their strengths and weaknesses. Today, they are tackling a deeper debate between encoding experts: the advantages and disadvantages of proprietary technology vs. community-driven open source.
In Episode 05, Tom Vaughan surprises The Video Insiders as he talks through his take on open source vs. proprietary technology.

11 december 2018 · 26 min
E03: What does the future hold for video codecs? This week, The Video Insiders look at the past and present to assess the future landscape of video encoding as they discuss where AVC, VP9, and VVC fit into the codec stew. Lees meer
The following blog post first appeared on the Beamr blog at: https://blog.beamr.com/2018/12/15/the-future-of-3-character-codecs-avc-vp9-vvc/
Anyone familiar with the streaming video industry knows that we love our acronyms. You would be hard-pressed to have a conversation about the online video industry without bringing one up…
In today’s episode, The Video Insiders focus on the future of three-character codecs: AVC, VP9, and VVC.
But before we can look at the future, we have to take a moment to revisit the past.
The year 2018 marks the 15-year anniversary of AVC and in this episode, we visit the process and lifecycle of standardization to adoption and what that means for the future of these codecs.

Dror Gill: 00:50 Is this really episode three?
Mark Donnigan: 00:52 It is, it is episode three. So, today we have a really exciting discussion as we consider the future of codecs named with three characters.
Dror Gill: 01:03 Three character codecs, okay, let’s see.
Mark Donnigan: 01:06 Three character codecs.
Dror Gill: 01:09 I can think of …
Mark Donnigan: 01:09 How many can you name?
Dror Gill: 01:10 Let’s see, that’s today’s trivia question. I can think of AVC, VP9, AV1, and VVC?
