thread_title:  Reads like an ad for Veoh 

message: This section looks like nothing more than a list of peoples' personal greviances. No evidence is given of any notable controversy, and more than half of it is various complaints about the 5 minute limitation. It would be better to factually describe the consequences of this limitation in the main article, without making it sound like a rant. – Smyth\talk 10:40, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

text: I removed it completely, it's all uncited speculation, looks like it's been here for a while looking at the date stamp on the comments above. Alastairward (talk) 22:45, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Controversy" 

message: The article says "As of February 2008, Veoh changed back to high resolution downloads for those using veoh TV Beta," but that's just not true, well, OK, I'm not 100% sure, but what I'm seeing sure looks like .flv, I have not tried to "save" the videos just "play" them on VeohTV (in either case something is being saved on my computer), but what I'm getting looks like flv, not as crappy as YouTube though.

thread_title:  original format vs. flash 

message: Many of the people who visit Veoh watch anime episodes. If you visit sites such as http://www.watchanimenow.com/, then you'll notice that most of the videos are veoh videos. Is this worth mentioning in the article?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.58.96.135 (talk) 02:31, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Blocked countries

message: It appears Veoh started to block due to bandwidht problems. A website called "lemonscripts" developed and hosts a Java applet which allows you to download the original video (not the degraded flash-flv transcript) from Veoh, without having to use the P2P-type Veoh TV utility. The unofficial method takes about 27 minutes to download a 20 min/200MB video via lemonscripts, it uses a CPU-intensive method to fake P2P-like activity. It works very well and countless people use it.
Probably everybody outside of the anglo-saxon world willl be blocked eventually. I think many in the third world and europe will be much pissed off and there are many hackers among them, they may even retaliate against Veoh for the discrimination with a network flood. 91.83.20.238 (talk) 11:34, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: What a load of bull... There are other ways to block leechers. And since not every country on the list is a "third world country". And even if they were - this is just plain unfair. Very similar to dvd regions and all similar "features" that are designed to milk more profit. Its just that here I don't see no way this helps their profits, seems more like to backslash. --Neikius (talk) 21:44, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

message: This article does nothing but brings up criticism of Veoh TV, so we should work to make it much more neutral than it is now. For this, everybody should help. Some by editting, some others by not editting.--96.232.61.201 (talk) 01:34, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

message: I noticed that in many (but not all) cases Veoh now shows just a 5 minute preview and links to Mixin for the full video. Example: http://www.veoh.com/watch/e42374SpCjXdDH  I suppose these two websites belong together and this should be reflected in the article. -- 77.184.170.209 (talk) 14:45, 19 May 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Veoh and Mixin 

message: Straight from their forum messageboard: My major concern is the advertisements. Dear heavens. I will be watching a video, fullscreen and whatnot, been watching for 15 minutes, and then suddenly I hear a terribly loud advertisement just start playing. So I pause the video, minimize it, and look over to the right and see the ad window, screaming at me to buy this product. I then have to mute my computer because its one of those ads that don't have any sort of volume control or pause button. So I wait until its over and wait for the video after the ad to load and then pause it and continue my video. 15 minutes later, history repeats itself. Seriously, I'm not going to buy any Dove products for at least the next months out of sheer fury toward that event. I dunno if it's the people that own the ads or if it's you guys who maybe programmed something incorrectly, but it's just awful, and I would like to suggest that you maybe change that.
Myself and the person above CANNOT be the only people having these problems with Veoh. Basically the sole administrator (yes, this site has just one, and he's a condescending asshole) says you have to go off-site and get download something to deal with it, rather than to simple change the way advertisments work on the site. The invasive ads deserve some kind of mention in the article. Period. --98.246.156.76 (talk) 21:06, 15 March 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: It would be easiest to include this information if it was written in a news article somewhere, whether online or not, so that we have a source that meets this wiki's standards. As for how to solve the problem, you can consider making a personal blacklist of websites and including Veoh in it. Or add/agree with complaints on http://www.mywot.com/en/scorecard/veoh.com. --Sbluen (talk) 17:14, 15 May 2013 (UTC)
