It might be a nice business for someone to put together "eduTube" - a video platform for educational institutions. It would have a annual fee per organization based on size.

It would: * allow archiving, or display with sunset on certain lectures * be available to university libraries, lecturers and student projects. * have less stringent content rules because educational * allow each institution could dictate what their rules were * allow institutions to determine who got what type of access

I would do it, but I am kinda soft on the video transcoding skills. Maybe UNL could work on expanding the service, with a fee, to other universities.

I’m not sure how much transcoding skills you need beyond ffmpeg; that’s what everyone uses.
