I am moving from youtube to Revver
Apr 17, 2008 
Alright everyone, I have decided to make a decision about which player I will be using on my website. So far I have been using default youtube’s player in all my past posts to post my videos, but I didn’t really liked it because of the ugly look of the player.
I have decided to move to Revver. Its not that I won’t keep my youtube channels updated. Ofcourse I will keep them updated for my youtube audience, but the player you will be seeing on my website would be Revver.
Revver is an ad sharing player, so they will pay you via paypal. Why I particularly like Revver is that it lets me brand the player. So now the player will say Balkhis rather than anything else. Player looks cool as it is very simple. Another good part is that the player comes in a script code which doesn’t make the site xhtml invalid whereas youtube used to make the site xhtml invalid. The only downside about this is that your video have to be approved so you can’t just post your video and put it live asap. It needs to be approved by their management. I can live with that.
Check out the new cool video in a new cool branded player:
And don’t forget to follow me at Revver
The new player looks great.
Does it decrease your traffic by not having the new videos on YouTube?
no it won’t because I will still upload my new videos to youtube for my youtube audience as I mentioned in my post, but before I used to post the youtube player on Balkhis, and now I will be posting the Revver player on the blog posts.
how about Vimeo, the player is much simpler & autohide when play.. =)
nice guitar play..
it still doesn’t let me brand my logo ? If I am unsatisfied with revver, then I will try vimeo
But atleast it’s better than youtube! I might try both revver and vimeo before I shift over from youtube
The player looks a lot better. It really brings out your Rock Star potential.
Its really cool, even i am shifting now.
Thanks for the tip syed
Got to know about it first time when watching a video from problogger. Looks like a cool one
Yeah It is pretty cool. I actually was working with a client and they needed a player so I put this one as a default on their website, and then I said I should register as well. I registered and saw the cool features and switched.
The video looks fine, but honestly I don’t really notice a difference between it and YouTube.
you don’t think the player looks better ? Youtube’s player was ugly and this player have Balkhis logo on it.
you know I do like that your able to get your logo on their makes it look nice….
That was cool
Thanks for sharing your skill bro lolz
I might try it on my side as well.

[...] So far I have managed to fix all of my xhtml errors except for the youtube error which is because the embed tag doesn’t exist according to W3C hence why I moved to Revver. [...]
looks good with your name embedded.
Looks more professinal.
Yeah, I think Youtube doesnt really allow that since that spot usually says YOUTUBE on it. It makes it more personalized and professional as you stated.
Yes branding is important and even this player is looking good
thats new. is it as friendly as youtube?
yes it is very friendly … I like it and have been using it since the date of this post
Liking the new player syed, hopefully it will work out for you.Im still with myspace.
I actually like Revver mainly because it looks sleek and allows for integration of Adsense ads to increase that ad revenue!
The Balkhis text on the Revver video player looks great. looks so professional!
