sorry, dunno how to download the entire thing…if you download that .ram file it’s a stupid small file…wonder how to get that main big file which has the actual video
choped up and no audio for me! but the reason i am interested in this is cause i just completed the first in a series of rock videos for nepali tv (hey, all on the TR3!) and now i want to get them on the web. no ideas on how to do this in a high quality way, and i have every software available to mankind at my disposal and lots of webspace at my website. what’s the best way to take 4 minutes of hq video and present on the web? thanks!

Two words: progressive QuickTime.
hey, can u spare a few more words? so i guess u are talking about .mov files, which are as large as avi files coming out of premier pro, so what is the progressive part? smalller files i hope. thanks for the words however!!!

If you want decent quality video, you are going to have to live with large file sizes. Embedding QuickTime in a web page doesn’t require any streaming software on the server and lets the user start viewing the video before it has finished downloading entirely. My company typically uses Sorenson Video 3 codec for video and MP3 for audio for music videos. I don’t know what aspect ratio or length your videos are, but the ones we do are usually 1.78:1. Done at different resolutions, the sizes we use work out to the following:
240x135 = ~6MB
320x180 = ~15MB
480x270 = ~35MB
Well, after doing some research and reading your comments i loaded canopus procoder 1.5 that uses the sorenson 3 codec and created a test .mov file. I used the lowest quality setting to get the file size down to 7megs for a 4 minute video at 12fps. Its from a TV broadcast and not the source tape, but it’s a worst-case scenario test i guess (the video has gone back to editing for refinement). I’ve posted it here:
But it’s hard to test at this end, my broadband is ancient and slow, and the audience is sitting in cyber cafes on shared modem lines. How does it look to u all, who i am sure are on superfast lines:)
The swf option is intriging…i have the entire MX series of dreamweaver softwares, will that help me, or do i need to get Squeeze? I was hoping procoder would do the trick…
hi guys! what do u see? is the Q there? i guess the ftp might have failed but it shows the correct byte count on the server. this is what i mean, i have never like QT! but what to do….here’s the code i used:
<embed src=“AauMilliGau3.mov” width=“320” height=“256” autostart=“false” border=“1”></embed>
<embed> is kind of a deprecated tag. I’d use an <object> tag surrounding an <embed> tag just to be safe. The bigger issue is that the file isn’t where you think it is. When I go to http://www.animalnepal.org/AauMilliGau3.mov directly, I get a 404 error.

drak, ur right about the 404, but using ftp tool i can see it there plain as day. my isp uses a USA mirror, and this is the first time i tried a large file like this. maybe it takes time? crud.
about the coding - dreamweaver really irritated me today as the help says just use the media bar to insert QT, but in my version of dreamweaver mx 6 there is no QT button. just flash, java, etc… wuz up with that? okay, i’ll try object but the problem is my isp’s server at this point….
hello all! got the file fixed but now it’s taking forever to download, no streaming that i can see, and there are no controls, even though specified in the html on this page:
