Yes, thats vague. But I could tell you that my weekend pick was Matzah and gefilte fish, but thats not what I’m looking forward to at all.

Over the past week, I’ve spoken with reps from a number of the major video aggregators and streaming providers about their recommended settings for outputting video from the web to TV. I also purchased a monthly subscription to the MLB.TV Premium Package for their 1.2MB stream. I’ll be tweaking my video card and TV and starting OVW’s own convergence video shootout.

Beyond the novelty factor, what online video can really replicate - or even hold its own - against a TV offering? On my previous experiments, I’d been using an s-video output into a regular CRT display. Now we’ve added DVI/HDMI outputs to the mix, and a 1080p plasma TV to the mix, which may not be as forgiving. We’ll just have to see.

We’ve yet to decide if we’ll do a comprehensive comparison, or share our thoughts on a rolling basis, but I’m looking forward to Arrested Development on Hulu, a few movies on Netflix’s Watch Now, and maybe Veoh’s most popular content, Star Trek (ok, maybe less so for the Star Trek, but I’m sure I’ll find something to enjoy). I’ve had some issues with Microsoft’s Silverlight player with my previous MLB experiments, but I’m hoping they’ve worked through them. Do the TV networks have a leg up when the screen you watch on is a TV? My sofa and I look forward to finding out…..just as soon as we’re done with our Seder.

Not that YouTube and Hulu didn’t already want you sending their content everywhere, but it doesn’t heart to make it simpler. Both sites recently rolled out features that automate syndication of content to social networking and bookmarking sites, streamlining the process of sharing with friends.

Hulu offers sharing links for eight sites and has enabled support for viewing clips within RSS feeds. YouTube has taken their community portion a step further, displaying related commentary such as video responses and blog trackbacks directly below videos and personalizing sharing preferences based on usage “so if you Digg more often than you Facebook, Digg will show up instead.”

Not that any of this news is particularly groundbreaking, but it will doubtless lead to more widespread distribution of those sites content. Expect to start seeing more Hulu and YouTube videos in your Facebook news feed in the weeks to come.

This week, TV Week’s New Media Minute with Daisy Whitney takes an exclusive look at Hulu’s demographics, comparing numbers from Hitwise and Nielsen to see who’s tuning into Hulu. (Hint: both my parents watch it.)

She also takes a quick look at Revision3’s Internet Superstar, a podcast I’ve been grabbing through the Zune Marketplace for the past few weeks.

I’m still watching the debate but forgot to post my online video pick for earlier tonight - but its not actually online. quarterlife, the drama originally created for the web has finally made its TV debut tonight on NBC at 10pm.

So catch it on your DVR if you remembered to set it, or catch full episodes on NBC.com, and clips on MySpaceTV, and on hulu. Hats off to Marshall Herskovitz and Edward Zwick for proving that (writer’s strike aside) good content will be found, and great content will find its way to mainstream media.

NBC picked up quarterlife - originally rejected by ABC - back in November. It will certainly be interesting to see the growth in audiences of the full episodes on TV and NBC.com (and possibly hulu) vs. the original 8-minute clips on MySpaceTV.

Remember…

Herskovitz and Zwick have tailored “Quarterlife” for the Web, blending the personal relationship stories they did best in programs like the high-school drama “My So-Called Life” with a saga centered on Dylan, a blogger, and her best friends.

Will the “real” fans, who’ve been watching on the web for months, take to the long form version? Or will they be turned off by the network’s censors? Again remember..

Herskovitz said “Quarterlife” will be free of constraints on language and other risky content TV networks often censor.

Anyone taking odds?
