Player, while Mac and Linux users get video encoded in Flash. Yahoo! joins a highly competitive field of video services currently led by MSN Video, YouTube and Google Video. The Associated Press reports on the Yahoo! Video launch as well."

I hadn't heard of it either. But according to the article link, it's beating both Google Video and YouTube for audience..
Top video sites in February 2006
Site Audience, 000 YTY Change
MSN Video 9,279 44%
YouTube 9,045 NA
Google Video 6,246 NA
iFILM 4,336 102%
video.search.yahoo.com 3,774 148%

Yahoo! just gives me what I need without the hassle. And Yahoo! has such a strong user base for things well beyond Video that they'll attract far more content than most of the niche competition sites.
BTW, it does ALOT for Yahoo!'s customers. It's keeping me from going all Google and that's a huge part of why they're doing it in the first place.

Go to Keepvid.com [keepvid.com] They may not have Yahoo!Video support yet but I'm sure they will soon since they already support downloads for YouTube, GoogleVideo, iFilm, Break, FindVideos, etc. etc.
