    Magnify is a platform that allows you to create a video site that collects videos from YouTube, Google, Yahoo!, Revver, and many other sources based on the reviews and recommendations of a community. Online publishers can use the Magnify to allow videos that are relevant to them and their users to be discovered and shared. To “Magnify” a video, you need to submit it to one of the many communities that are building their video repertories on the Magnify platform. This means that over time, user-generated video will get better, and searching for video will become more relevant and useful. Free to use.

When visitors pay for your content, they will receive an encrypted copy of the video that only they can play back. They will be able to keep it forever, and play it on up to six registered DivX devices. Free sign up
