Flash! :-) You can put a link to a .avi file and if the user has a Windows PC it might start up and play in Media Player. Or you can make it into a QuickTime movie and if the user can bear to instal QT then it'll play. Or hmmm I think I will just nip out for some popcorn then sit and watch this one as it should get quite interesting. But I will stick with my first suggestion - you're already familiar with Flash, which works very widely across different browsers and platforms, and I would bet money that it can import from a format he can provide (such as .avi) The WDVL Discussion List from WDVL.COM To Join wdvltalk, Send An Email To: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Send Your Posts To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To set a personal password send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the words: "set WDVLTALK pw=yourpassword" in the body of the email.

Doesn't take much too learn if you're familiar with Flash. MM has a page for comparison, when to use either or both: http://www.macromedia.com/software/director/resources/integration/flash/when_flash.html Flash is easier to use imho if you don't need to actually edit the video, max flexibility with Director editing-wise. cheers, Mark The WDVL Discussion List from WDVL.COM To Join wdvltalk, Send An Email To: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Send Your Posts To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To set a personal password send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the words: "set WDVLTALK pw=yourpassword" in the body of the email.

[wdvltalk] Re: Video on website
Sorry for taking so long to get back on this... Bj & Mark :o) I hadn't thought of Flash or Director, but I wouldn't have thought that they would be the ideal way of approaching things. Something along the lines of QT was the suggestion I was hoping for but as you said, the download would be a pain in the ass for the end user. Dons example is exactly how i thought it should be handled, as this is the most common way I have seen it dealt with in the past but I didn't know how to go about it or how to get past the nitty gritty :o) But thanks for your suggestions & time. all my best jac. > > You already know!

my mistake - yeah you were right Mark, Don had replied directly to me on [EMAIL PROTECTED] but I have a msg rule set that anything sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] goes into a particular folder. I hadn't noticed he replied directly. I don't think he'll mind if I post his response below... Don wrote: I did something a couple of years ago for the Broadmoor Hotel when they were doing an email promotion. Mostly works in Media Player. Created some landing pages with three different sizes/speeds for the .avi clips (the video was provided by another company which serves the files). I'm surprised this is still up. http://6cp.com/broadmoor/broadmoor-vidtour-landing.htm This landing page leads to a window that streams an .avi file off a media server. The new window has all the parameters which an .asf file uses to create the link between the .avi file and the browser. In your OBJECT attributes is where you can set what sort of control the user is able to see and access. Many users can access the right mouse button context menu to control even a streaming window with no controls like my example, no matter what you do in OBJECT control. Can't remember if they gave me the time to make this cross-browser and backward compatible. I know the code isn't validated as everything was a rush job at CP when I contracted for them. > Just curious, can't find an email from Don anywhere - what was his > preferred method? > > cheers, > >Mark > The WDVL Discussion List from WDVL.COM To Join wdvltalk, Send An Email To: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Send Your Posts To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To set a personal password send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the words: "set WDVLTALK pw=yourpassword" in the body of the email.

Thanks, JAC. My BCCs to the list were going elsewhere.

[wdvltalk] Re: Video on website
The original advice was the best. For videos under a minute us Flash MX video, compressed in Sorenson Squeeze or Wildform. Embed as you would any flash. Over a minute, or so, go to WMV using the free WM Encoder. For source you'll want uncompressed mov (on Mac) or uncompressed AVI (on PC) deinterlaced and resized to your target size.
