While Google and YouTube offers an easy conversion process from any original video format to FLV (streaming Flash format video) by simply uploading your the videos on their portals and thereafter embedding them on a any page, this these Google or YouTube videos will include automatically display links to non-relevant other usually irellevant videos at the end of video streams and the stream, often include including advertising as syndicated by Google. To avoid thisthe irellavant content from being appended to your video content, you can upload your Flash video directly on MadaCamp without advertising or irellevant links being appended onto your video.
