>Today's client question is what is the current thinking about >preferred format for delivering online media/movies via a web site:
This is a moving target. Someone mentioned Google Video, but that will be closed up soon. There are newer services like Mevio, but who knows how long they will be around or what their focus will be. The site most hospitable to hosting random videos is YouTube. It is also the site that will have the most staying power. They make it easy to upload and easy to embed the video in your web page. If you want to host the video on your own server, then the Flash video player is your best option. Almost all online video is played through Flash these days because it has far fewer browser-related problems than other formats. Flash has its own video format, FLV, and will also play H.264, which is a fine format. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
