dwayne dibbly Posted March 3, 2006 Posted March 3, 2006 Hi, I have a photo album for my family so the members around the world can log on and see all of us. Well i have various videos of stuff like partys and play time anyway i would like to be able tostream them instead of them having to download the whole thing before it plays, How would i go about it. If youwant to chek it out its at p14.org watch a video and you will see what i mean it doesnt start until the whole thing has downloaded but some of them are 10 - 20mb. thanks dwayne.... Quote
TCH-Bruce Posted March 3, 2006 Posted March 3, 2006 Video will eat up your bandwidth quickly. As for streaming video on a shared account you can only use http:// links to your vid files. There is no streaming deamon allowed to be run on the shared servers. Quote
dwayne dibbly Posted March 3, 2006 Author Posted March 3, 2006 Oh ok so its not possible then not to worry. Thanks anyway. dwayne... Quote
surefire Posted March 3, 2006 Posted March 3, 2006 Formatting your videos in FLV and using an appropriate flash player on your site will start the video playing before the entire video downloads. I don't believe this is technically a true streaming video (or a streaming daemon) but it will eat some bandwidth like crazy. My tip: small display dimensions and reduce the quality of the frames. Also, you'll want to play with the frame rate and some of the other settings. Depending on the type of footage shot, other file options (AVI, WMV, etc) may give you a smaller file size. Quote
TCH-JimE Posted March 3, 2006 Posted March 3, 2006 Hello, Infact it will eat it up very very very quickly. A 20 meg video can be viewed once, where a picture of say 50K can be viewed 400,000 times for the same bandwidth!! JimE Quote
