Hi,Normally on larger commercial sites, you usually have a few different versions of videos and the code/cookies determines what kind of speed you have on computer/network and load the correct video to match your ability to play the video.
As far as a single big file like you have, i would look into the Akamai settings and see if you could increase the buffer a bit so it loads in more of the video before it plays. And also make sure the site/video player you have is optimized and supports streaming video, especially of a video size like that.
Hope that helps. On Aug 25, 2009, at 2:07 PM, jared stanley wrote:
Hey all, wondering if anyone can give me direction on this: I have a large video site, the vid area is 1000x600. Videos are streaming from Akamai. It's playing fine on large computers w/fast connections; Needless to say it's getting chugging on slower/older setups. I would like to enable the range of computers it works on by optimizing the video. which one of the following would work better: 1. shrink the data rate from like 850kbps to like 550kbps 2.export the video at like 800x400 and then stretch it up. Obviously I could just try this, but I'm wondering what the logic behind it is and if there are any best practices.
