Democracy Player
Democracy Player is the release name for the Participatory Culture video aggregator formerly known as DTV. The app comes pre-loaded with a number of channels, featuring video from a variety of publishing sources including video blog darling Rocketboom, PCulture's own Video Bomb and Kevin Rose project Diggnation. You can subscribe to any video blog with an RSS feed, choosing to download individual episodes or auto-downloading everything published on a particular channel. What makes Democracy Player particularly interesting is Participatory Culture's focus on creating an end-to-end experience for video publishing, with Broadcast Machine acting as a channel creation tool, Video Bomb providing a marketing vehicle for published video and Democracy Player as desktop interface for consuming video. All video playback in Democracy Player requires necessary codecs (Windows Media, QuickTime, Real, DivX) for playback. [Windows XP $0.00]
