Robert can I set up a time to talk to you about this. This is a big thing for my client and I want to win points by giving them the best advice.
The best thing for them would be to be able to pull these things off the DVD itself. They are in the process of buying new Macs so we could get them the horsepower they need if they don't have it yet. Then the goal would be to have a really robust performance on any browser when they click on the trailer and have them be able to watch it either embedded in the web page or on their default player. I assume since it is trailers that it does not matter if they end up with it on their computer. Finally we are hosted at Tronics so it has to be seamless with IIS 6 if possible. I can pay you for your time and can make the call if you tell me what is best for you. I will be happy to summarize back to the list whatever we work out. on 6/8/06 22:45, Robert Garcia at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > You can download the trial, but it is pretty good at translating > anything, to anything else, and does not require quicktime, so can > also pull from dvd stuff, I believe.
