Default Re: Best way to show video demos on a site?

Size can be irrelevant if using the proper format. FLV! if you build a flash video player yourself, you can offer multiple resolutions and your site visitor will never know. Fox does does this for their online episodes. You setup your player so that it detects the bandwidth of the visitor and uses the appropriate resolution. You can even offer FLV's for download and provide a link to FLV players. Plus by offering the videos as FLV (basically Flash), you will have less compatibility issues than using something like a WMV, AVI, DIVX or MPEG. FLV require no codecs, you simply need flash player installed, and honesly, how many people don't have Flash Player these days?
