Accenture recently did a study on Video Over Internet Consumers and there were some pretty interesting findings in the report. Today I’m going to look at perceived problems with online video from the consumer standpoint which had some pretty surprising stuff. As always, I like to give you their methodology so you get an idea ..

They always seem a bit behind, comScore, not the Brits. Considering that it’s almost mid-March and we’re just getting UK numbers for January.

Big numbers continue to accumulate for online video according to comScore who say some 181 million Americans watched more than 40 billion videos in the month. Good for us! In the standard charts there's little movement, like always. Video lengths are up to 6.1 minutes per video on average and ads are still at 0.4 minutes.

200 billion is a number that neither you nor I can actually picture.

I pulled out the video advertising and put it into its own article but I still wanted to talk about the rest of the stats that came out of comScore for last month.

Republican Presidential Candidate Herman Cain made news recently for his campaign cancelling an interview with newspaper this Thursday, saying it didn’t want the interview to be video recorded and arguing that video is only typical for television.

It’s that time of the month again, when comScore puts out its Video Metrix numbers that show who is ruling the roost in online video. As expected, YouTube is still top dog and it seems that VEVO has cemented itself into the second post overall. More interestingly though, is that Tremor Video looks to be making up big ground on Hulu in regards to online video advertising

Our pal Greg Jarboe over at Search Engine Watch grabbed a fantastic scoop Sunday while interviewing comScore’s Dan Piech: this summer YouTube and comScore will release a joint effort called YouTube Partner Reporting, which promises detailed analytic and demographic breakdowns of the various official YouTube Partner channels. YouTube Partners number around 40,000–give or take. They are the content producers, both amateur and professional, that have done so well with their video channels that they get special revenue and promotional arrangements with YouTube.

comScore released the Video Metrix a bit late this month and I’ve been quite busy of late so I missed it.

This doesn’t make much sense to me, but it seems like less people in the US (170M vs. 171M) started more video sessions (5B vs. 4.8B) in February than in January, and then watched for less time (816 vs 870 minutes) each.
