Usually I would spend some time reviewing the new Brightcove player for you all, but the chaps at Techcrunch (www.techcrunch.com) have done such a nice job you might as well go there:

Brightcove is only one of a number of 'player' solutions; indeed here at etv we have our own, but obviously we are not looking to compete with the SAAS companies who do this for a living. In fact our player is designed to provide a nice, simple solution where these other systems are overkill.
Other ones I have been looking at recently include:
Mio, by Nativ (http://nativ.tv/)
Miomni by Ether Digital (http://www.miomni.com)
Narrowstep (http://www.narrowstep.com/)
these are all 'kind of' the same, but interestingly they all stop with the link between the web TV world (which they cope with quite well) and the traditional broadcast platforms (which they don't service at all). I have been having a chat to the guys here and we can't actually see a platform which provides TV for both the web and broadcast platforms (Sky and iTV for example)... you can do it, but you need a number of different pieces of software and this obviously adds complexity and risk. If anyone knows of one I would be happy to hear about it!
