(I rarely get as good as 4 KB/s on my home 56K modem - more usual is 800
bps)
I understand the concept of increasingly long preload times ;)
Quality is dictated by the client. Within reason.
I'm prepared for the preload time, which is why I'm looking at HTTP
streaming - so that the video can at least *start* playing before the whole
file is down.
I'm looking for tips about how to approach the http streaming within
shockwave. Especially about the method I outlined previous.
Unfortunately, installation of server software isn't an option. Otherwise
RealVideo sounds like it would be a good option.
Thanks,
