Jim, 1. wmv or flash are the two we use. With the new flash you get the best viewing experience. We offer on our pages first: flash video with a link to upgrade flash if they want, and secondly a link to a Windows Media file. We use both Windows Media streaming and Flash streaming. We only find under 5% can't see the Flash. 2. I simply use windows media encoder, free, for the wmv and Flash Video Encoder which I got with Flash Professional. That one works sweet. 3. Playstream.com is who hosts ours. Not a single problem, and very flexible...even offers skins for embedding your flash.

I'd like to embed these in the page. Any particular CODECs/compression that work best...these will be for product demos...the size does not need to be enormous. 2. assuming that you are provided with fairly large AVI files, what are the best programs out there for compressing those into whatever that best format is(see question 1). 3. As the clients who want to do this generally have low-priced shared hosting situations, I am looking at having the video hosted at some service external to their main host...does anyone know of hosts which provide reliable "media" hosting? -- Jim Wright Wright Business Solutions [EMAIL PROTECTED] 919-417-2257 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:233577 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
