Hi! We would like to upload video files that are produced for the department and ideally we would like to archive into the Institution's established DSpace instance.
The department's IT people are concerned that the size of the video files could cause a major problem with the government's internet traffic (eg cause an outage), especially if too many people attempt to access at the same time. We currently have one video file on DSpace which is in .wmv format. The .wmv format is not seen as being compact enough to minimise the impact of video files (in DSpace) on the government Internet. A suggestion from our IT person has been "streaming HTML" as it has a small footprint which would make it ideal for this exercise. I don't know what streaming HTML is and if it is recommended to work with DSpace. Is there someone out there who can enlighten me as to what streaming HTML is and if it will work in archiving video files in DSpace? Thanks very much.
