eyeVio - Sony's YouTube?

[Sindre]

Saw this and wanted to share it with you.
Seems like it might include some features for the PSP and the PS3, looking at the official website ( http://eyevio.jp/square/about/ ) Would be nice if someone could translate.

"This is part of Sony's quiet software revolution," CEO Howard Stringer said at a news conference.

"It's an opportunity to transmit user-generated video anywhere you want to, anytime to anybody, in a protected environment," Stringer said.

Made specifically for PS3 and PSP cameras maybe?

Perhaps you can only upload stuff you made with these devices? That'd be pretty cool in a way. Hopefully make people get creative with their consoles.

I don't see much point in it TBH if you can upload any video. We already have many Youtube-like services already and don't need any more of them.

Besides Sony is paranoid about copyright infringement so I am pretty suyre they'll only allow original stuff made with PSP/PS3.

Peace.

No it supports Walkman, iPod, and PSP. Accessible from IE and Firefox. Right now H.264 Base Profile is supported and HD support is supposed to come later.

How about filming copyrighted material such as a dvd movie, filmed with the ps3 camera. (and posting it there)

I know it would be horrible quality wise but just as a protest of a kind...

I meant as recording devices obviously not for playback.

There's no ipods with a built-in camera afaik.
But if they accept videos from everywhichwhere it's obvious they don't want a playstation specific site which I actually kind of regret. They would do better to focus specifically on their own devices I think..

They could do community events and run competitions and have some nice prizes for those who did nice PS3/PSP videos etc.

Peace.

..and the PS Eye is to have its own community back-end for sharing photos/videos etc. via the EyeCreate software. Seems like a fair bit of duplication, at least on certain levels. Even if they want seperate communities, they could perhaps look into making them interoperable or have them share tech.
