VeZoom.com, the site that claims to host the world’s most comprehensive video search engine has launched a new string to its bow in the form of MyVeZoom.

The service is a customisable extension of the VeZoom search function, which constantly monitors over 18 million hours of online video featured in over 60 online channels – wowza!

Web surfers can organise their viewing experience easily by category, then VeeZoom will work its magic to find content related to your chosen interests. Topics range from the obvious such as news, sport and entertainment to pretty much any user-generated or professional content you can think of.

Megavideo, a new online video sharing site from the brains behind Megaupload claims that it’s a YouTube beater in the making. In a video on its homepage, the firm lists ten reasons why it is better than the current market leader:

Your local library may now be riding the internet video download train by offering various video titles on its website for download.

Libraries have previously acted as small-scale free video rental outlets and now various libraries across the U.S. are beginning to offer the same titles as movie download sites, although the focus is generally on the special interest and indie film variety.

It would be worthwhile checking your local libraries website to see what video downloads they have available. Libraries all over the U.S are doing this including the libraries in the entire state of Wyoming.

Marshall Kirkpatrick of the SplashCast Blog has written an insight into using tagging to collect and share videos.

In this instance he is discussing tagging as the process of finding a video and bookmarking/saving it along with keyword/s. So for example you may find a cool Jim Carrey video and tag it as "Jim Carrey", "Actors" and "Comedy".

You can now use the video in your own library, or as part of a web TV channel you share with other people. If you or your friends wanted to see a library of Jim Carrey videos then that video would be added into the library since you tagged it as "Jim Carrey".

One thing that really annoyed me about YouTube was its inability to get videos to go truly full screen. The videos were always locked within your browser window and never took up the full space of you monitor, not to mention the fact going full screen restarted the video.

Now YouTube has solved this and offers a fluid full screen option. The full screen button now quickly resizes the video to take up the whole of your screen and you just simply press Esc to exit.

The full screen mode works in a very similar way to the StreamCast Player I talked about a couple of days ago.

I recently showed you how to download videos from sites like YouTube using VidDownloader, but unfortunately that site has disappeared off the face of the Earth.

So instead why not try ZamZar which works in a very similar way. In fact ZamZar is much better!

Blinkx, the online video search engine, has launched a new feature called Blinkx Remote which is basically a list of different TV shows that you can watch online.

Blinkx Remote will let you know what TV shows are available to watch online for free (& legally) with a picture of a little TV screen.

Blinkx Remote will also let you know if the shows are available to purchase, such as from the iTunes store, with a picture of the $ sign.

It also lists video clips from around the internet for whatever TV show you are looking at. Some of the clips may even be full episodes too.

Like many other television networks including Fox, ABC and NBC, the CW Television Network is offering a number of its TV episodes online and has been doing so since January this year.

Once again this is only available to people connecting from within the US, unless you know how to connect via a US proxy (I’ll show you how to do this sometime I promise!).

If you are a member of YouTube you can now start using a new feature called active sharing. This allows other people to see what videos you have been watching and what videos you are watching right now.

“When you start Active Sharing, your username will appear to other users on the videos you watch. A list of videos you’ve recently watched will also appear on your profile page.”

It’s a pretty simple feature that will help YouTube users find people who share similar interests and to see what those similar people have been watching.

The new controversial TVUPlayer has appeared on the internet and could be the TV studio’s biggest enemy since Napster. This new player allows you to potentially watch any television channel in the world on your PC.

Channels featured on TVUPlayer currently include CBS, ESPN, NBA TV, ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX, Comedy Central, Disney and more, including sports channels.

This already impressive lineup of channels is available from any internet enabled PC in the world and could potentially expand to include many more channels.

It is my understanding the system works where one person records live TV and streams it to the internet. This stream is then redistributed by other people who are watching the channel.
