It has been a banner quarter for online video companies and their mobile video counterparts, with the combined sectors raising more than $236.5 million in the third quarter.
VideoNuze reports it's the best three-month period since the second quarter of 2010, when venture firms ponied up $247 million, and marks a stark contrast to the April-May period this year when only $84 million was raised.
Investments in Tango, Tremor Video, Thought Equity Motion, Vidyo and Zenverge accounted for 62 percent, or $146.6 million of the quarter's total.
Overall, VideoNuze said, 20 companies saw big VC infusions and two others, Ooyala--with funding from Motorola Mobility--and ClipSync--whose funding came from RealNetworks--also were on the receiving end.
