streaming video

February 4th, 2004, 10:35 pm

I have a movie that was designed for streaming video, but I don't know how to make it streaming. I know my host is web-streaming compatible, but thats's about it. Any help appreciated.

i'm using "americandiscount-webhosting.com" and while they're a little odd, I found I can do pretty much everything there. On their home page, it says "streaming video" under the gold member allocations list, so I'm pretty sure I can do it. I could use windows media as well, but I prefer to use quicktime. I'm running a mac ( as you can probably tell) but not everyone who is going to watch the movie is, so Windows Medial might be a good idea too.

You know now days most hosting companies have strong enough servers to handle pretty much any script, including video stream, i would go with godaddy, cheap and strong servers

Look in your web admin for MIME type settings if you don't see the file extension you want to use, shoot an email to your web host.
I recommend flash video extension FLV. We used it on our corporate site

and it was a pleasure to use because we had alot of control with UI and loading. Plus 95% of users have flash.

There are also free flash video players you can download
