Hi I need to put some video up on my site so potential clients can see past work. They are saved as avi files and are about 30 megs each Whats the best way to do this? What file format is the best for playing on the internet? Daryll
any file that is smaller would be best... .asf files or .mpg are what i've put on before... then just use embed code to make it auto play on the page <EMBED SRC="filename.mpg"></EMBED> Code (markup):
Wouldnt the movie have to load up fully then before it'd play? Dont want to compromise quality to much so file sizes are gona remain big! Is there anyway to stream the content? like youtube does?
it should start playing while its downloading.. something like this http://www.tu-chemnitz.de/misc/demo/mpeg.html but that video is small so you dont really see it in action.. i dont have any examples of it but it should start playing while downloading...
youtube.com maybe or convert the videos to flv and use a flv player in your site streaming videos would be best, if you dont want to wait until the video is fully loaded
