Very selective about content; videos must be picked for inclusion by site editors, and are generally licensed exclusively to Atom for a specified period of time. Producers earn royalties based on the popularity of their content (and sometimes an advance payment, too), plus a share of any additional distribution revenues generated through deals with partners such as Verizon, for mobile video.

From website - in Beta - "There are different models for revenue. We actively approach larger content owners and in some cases licence material directly, or with a combination of sharing in advertising revenue.

Any content. Recommends limiting file size to 100 megabytes.

Producers can set a per-download price (minimum: 99 cents), or allow Brightcove to insert ads. For the former, Brightcove splits revenues 70-30, with the creator getting the larger share; for the latter, the revenue split is 50-50. But affiliate sites that point users to an ad-supported video can earn 20 percent of the ad revenue off the top; for pay-per-view videos, the producer can set her own commission rate for affiliates.

For uploading videos and for DVD distribution.

Allows you to create highly-branded video social networks. What does this mean? Say you want to create a video network focused on RC Cars or say a presidential candidate.

Appeal: YouTube with monetization--if people watch your video (and the embedded ad), you get paid 20% of what the advertiser pays Revver. If they click on the Revver link at the end, you split the proceeds 50/50. | Interface: Quicktime-based. Requires you to download a client for uploading content. Tagging, emailing, rating, playlisting. | Editing: None. | Sharing: See below. | Verdict: Offers a unique revenue-sharing model that may appeal to content owners and producers. But: Uploading process is convoluted (the promised drag-and-drop functionality was nowhere to be found). After trying to upload my file using the Revver client twice, my video was still listed as "unavailable." I later received an email from Revver stating that my submission may contain unauthorized material that requires clearances--which is true.
