Converting your clips into multiple file types (WMV, MOV, AVI, etc) so that you can increase the number of updates that one clips can provide.

Dan -
Not sure if your just represent clips.com or if you own it, but here's a question for you. Why not make it easier on your content providers and build the tools in too do this ??
I don't run any clip stores myself, but from the guys I talk too, I would think that they would love it if you made the above a little easier. When I add content to my site, I upload 1 video. From there my scripts break down the video into clips if I want, on segments that I choose. I can then have it encoded into any format and bit-rate that I want for the surfer to be able to choose from.
I would think that you might pick up a few more content producers if you made your system a bit more producer friendly. To get rid of your segmenting issue you might think about offering your producers more virtual updates based on the amount of time in a video. My stuff that I have shot is normally 20 to 40 minutes long, but if I'm competing with other store owners that have 5 to 7 min vids I get screwed, so make the update schedule based on the amount of time that a video is. So a 20 minute video gets 5 slots in the front page that I can schedule as I see fit.
Like I said I don't run any clips stores, so my advise may be shit
