A Single URL for Everything Video - Vid.ly

...well someone had to get the ball moving and ease things up for mobile devices...

Encoding.com is a large commercial video encoding service provider and just launched a private beta of Vid.ly, a universal video URL service. With Vid.ly, pre-transcoded videos are available in popular web and mobile formats . When a user requests a video, Vid.ly detects the kind of device and serves the correct and optimized video.

Vid.ly simplifies preparation and delivery of video to all mobile devices (smart phones, feature phones, tablets) and browsers which has been a constant challenge to video content providers. Content providers can share the provided short URL via SMS, Facebook, Twitter, or other social media sites and embed the vid.ly-provided HTML5 code into their video (browsers support different HTML5 video formats such as H.264, WEBM, Ogg, and, oh, of course, there is Flash as well).
