We use Brightcove to power http://www.realvibez.com, and have received two checks so far (they pay quarterly). As a small media company with no venture backing, Brightcove’s professional service has been amazing.

Hopefully this new development will allow them to focus more on the relationships with media companies rather than trying to partially compete with Youtube.
