Those familiar with Joomla may have heard of the Seyret Video Component, an addon to Joomla that allows you to essentially create your own Youtube style website. Seyret has been the premier Joomla video component for a number of years and is feature rich, easy to use and looks great. We even use it here on succeed2k for our video reviews and guides section.
There has however, another component that has been very quietly gaining popularity: HWDVideoShare.
Like Seyret, HWD allows you to create your own video streaming website. It allows users to upload videos, rate, comment and view videos. It also, like Seyret allows users to add videos from third party sites such as Joomla, Google Video and Metacafe.
Which brings us to the point where we have to ask... which one is "better"? This is purely subjective of course as the definition of "better" pretty much depends on the users on opinions, needs and preferences as to the look at feel of their website.
Over the next few days I am going to be writing a series of articles which will highlight key aspects of the 2 different components running a comparison between then. This 4 part series will consist of:
- Installation & Administration Features & Comparison
- User Features & Usability Comparison
- Modules, Plugins and Third Party Extensions Comparison
- Summary
