I am appreciating all these tube threads, even if they bash each other a little bit because from that, one can discern some of the differences between the scripts. I don't carte about the semantics, they can all be called tube scripts for my purposes since I just need them for tube style and video sites that have no user uploads, just my own vids and/or embedded sponsor vids with an upsell to my own sites or clip stores or sponsor sites.
At a superficial glance, I actually like some of the free ones more than the paid ones. I love the nice big thumbnails on Nubiles. Just have to see if there is a way to center the display of the main page rather than be left justified like I see on the samples. The Vidiscript one also looks promising if the thumbnails can be made bigger.
The other thing about the paid scripts is how limiting they are if you want to use them on multiple domains. Using the free scripts, or even Wordpress to simulate them like I have seen one gentleman do, frees one up to use them on multiple sites in multiple genres once you find a system that works for you to drive traffic and make sales. Who wants to license a script for $250 or even $100 and then be limited to one domain, when you may have a dozen or more sites in mind that it might be possible to replicate the general framework with different content and headers on different domains. Same idea as having many Wordpress blogs or splogs- it's free software, so you can make lots of them.
