[quote author=“jiggy”]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:

It doesn’t look like you saved it with the progressive flag set. That’s something you set when you save the movie. BTW, you saved the movie as MPEG-4, not Sorenson 3. As long as the people who need to see the video have QT6, it’s fine. To get the controls to show up properly, you should add 16 px to the height of the video. You might also want to make the <embed> and <object> tags have the same size values, but that’s probably not cuasing any of the problems you’re seeing.

Drac-urok! it did make a dif, the size thing, opera sees that tag, ie does not. working on it now.  but i originally transcoded raw AVI from Procoder that I am sure used Sorenson. Then i tried to use QT Pro to set the streaming bits (progressive flag?).  I guess I have to try that one again. I’m getting closer…but what a pain! I want a “Make it so” command from Premiere Pro. Well, maybe in the year 2404.

I think the option to save as a progressive download is in the Save to Web menu somewhere. I don’t use Premiere much…

Isn’t a Drac-urock one of the monsters from the Legend of Zelda?

no, i think u are confused with Deku Baba - born from the same strain of Deku Seeds which produced the Great Deku Tree, Deku Babas are much less thoughtful or generous. They are menacing monsters with sharp jaws and a thirst for blood.

i dont’ find anything in premiere to be helpful or working in regards to the web, so i am using canopus procoder afterwards, but as i am unable to adjust the sorenson settings there, i have to later edit with QT pro which allows me to reexport the file with streaming options.  its a nightmare if uu ask me, but hell, im just a cartoonist….

rahul, i was not singing in that song, but i was hugging mero shree mati ho in the video! to hear musical contrib, go here:

not sure if the music will play in the background or not, will not in Opera but will in IE. NOW i need to figure out how to get music files into web pages, all for low bandwidth.  the wma file is here:

i guess i have to figure out how to imbed a windows media object.  there is nothing in the interface of dreamweaver which is shocking to me :ph34r:

all ur suggestions are always welcome, keep ‘em coming!

ps. this song was also assembled on the tr3 using ACID and some original music from my brothers in law.  the audio for the video was done in a studio, and 19 people were singing on that one…feel free to buy a CD!!!
