Default Re: First online video: Some questions.

Thanks for
  • fast
  • good
answers.

My son has Vista Ultimate. He had no problems with the small clip. It downloaded and opened in Windows Mediaplayer. He has not responded to the larger clip, since it was uploaded later.

Suggest converting to Flash.
  1. Why?
  2. Is it easy and is the quality the same after transformation?

  1. Are you sure that Soney movie files can be transfromed and edited with that program?
  2. Again, what about quality after transformation?
Note my answer in this http://www.webproworld.com/breakroom...tml#post386875 thread. Movie editing is not the problem. The problem is online streaming, packing and unpacking on the server, quality, hosting (future needs - I will prefer to use my own site and not rely on third parties like Youtube etc), functionality in public software like Windows MediaPlayer and other media players.


The software that follows with the camera, has
  1. Good presentation functionality. Separate clips can be showed continuously.
  2. Movie editing.
  3. DVD burning etc.
  4. Online updates like Windows live update.
The drawback is that the program is proprietary as far as I know. My conclusion so far:
  1. The files have to be downloaded before playing.
  2. There are problems viewing the clips in Windows Media Player. Note that the smallest clip is very short (7 seconds) and suddenly cuts off. I added it for those that would not try the larger clip.
