well, I am also looking into Flash videos, it seems like it probably is the wave of the future with google video using it and all

I used Flash on a free site to reduce the size and to keep people from stealing my shit.

Too many users compalined at the time. Id be interested in hearing if that has changed.

Jace,

Begin your movement towards Flash. If I get some time in the next couple of days, I will give my two cents; However, all new paysites we are building will use Flash from the inside out.

I can't wait for a more detailed response, I am really digging this whole flash thing

in all honesty, I don't see why flash hasn't been used more in the last year, it protects all your content so there is no need for that silly drm shit and that right there is a +++++ all in itself

I typically keep MPEGs around as a lowest common denominator that anyone can play. But they are usually the alternative choice. For the primary, I typically will chase whatever is currently hot, yielding the highest quality per megabyte. Always a balance of download time to quality. I've had good success with DivX lately, but have also cast an eye toward Flash.

The more I play with flash the more I am loving it

I am going to convert one for you all and let you see the quality I can get from a super lowe file size

Re: What formats are you serving videos in for your members area?
 

I'm watching this thread and hope more details will be posted soon.

I have a bunch of Real files that are useless to me. My members hate having to download the player. I would love to know more about flash and its future.

get sorenson and convert those, sorenson will convert anything to anything

I am working on getting a nice flash example right now, it takes a lot of tweaking to get shit right when it is the first time...LOL

Re: What formats are you serving videos in for your members area?
 

Oh shit I have a shitload of CD's I have to go through. Some I might not even bother with if I can find good new content.

But I'm going to hook back up with you once I do and see where you're at.
