I actually tried to use videopress, but when I found out that they do not support rtmp, rtmpe, it was a no starter from the get go. As all of my video's are between 1-2hrs long, there is no way I would ever go back to progressive download. Simply switching to rtmp cut my server bw bills by over 60%. Rtmp only sends what the customer requests, and allows ff/rw instantly without having to wait for the load.

With systems like wowza being so incredibly inexpensive now, I was actually shocked that videopress didn't utilize it. It's much more efficient both on cpu cycles and bw usage.

I can say that their system is so integrated, that if they ever did offer rtmp/rtmpe at reasonable rates, I'd jump over there in a second.

It's really sad that the videopress 'open' framework pretty much died on the vine. I have not seen an update to it in over a year now.
