Streaming Video Questions
Ok so I am working on a new site www.rangerpast.com and I am trying to come up with the best method for the comming users for site I am currently using phpfox as the base for the site with a few modifications. However I need to come up with the best method for embeding the media. What would be your suggestion for the streaming content most start anywhere from .flv - .avi files. I have contemplated embeding using a Windows media player content but I want the users to be able to stop ,play and pause.

I would suggest the following:

Yea alot of the clips I dont believe will exceed 5 mins either way. As they will mainly be TV Intro's and Commercials to Movie Trailers.:D

Well I was able to finally come up with a descent player for this issue.... now will be onto encoding so I dont loose quality taking them to .flv files size isnt really and issue since my host is unlimited like my bandwith. The Test Clip I used was from Youtube so it looks a little crappy! :eek:
http://www.rangerpast.com/index.php?...ic/spdfanmade/ There is a description added to the bottom havent decided to wether or not let them download the media or not. Still need to review the media to see if the quality is worth it. |
The player I use here is the JW FLV Player, although my implementation is by way of a vBulletin plugin. To play H.264, you simply rename the extension from .MP4 to .FLV or .MP4.FLV. So far, it looks to work really well.
There are also some Youtube plugins, and other services, for those you use third-party hosting of their videos. For what we do here on this site, we want to have a bit more control over our video feeds, so we host videos locally. |
