Streaming video
I’m wanting to put streaming video on my website and I’m going to use FloPlayer. I have half hour shows I want to use.
What rendering settings, format, etc. might be best to use?
Thanks

If you want to put streaming video on your server then you need a streaming server or host the video on a streaming content provider.
FloPlayer is just the player on your website. FloPlayer will play streamed video, but I suspect that what you plan to do is to deliver video over HTML and host the video on your web host.
You need to consider your audience. Their download speed limits are probably going to be your bottleneck. Since you aren’t using a streaming server with adaptive bitrate, you have to either provide the file in the lowest common denominator, probably MP4 over a 3G smartphone, or provide a menu of download options.
I would suggest starting with the YouTube HD template to start.

I think I’ll render in a couple different sizes for people to choose from.
Just tried rendering using Vegas11 (what a nightmare) using their new templates. I had to shut of GPU or my entire system went black. Then I began to render a 20 second clip and it stayed there for a half and didn’t move off the 1% mark.Where do you turn of GPU in the render settings. Maybe that will help.
I really think Sony should be ashamed in putting out such a buggy program.

Well, I was with you until that last line.
I can count the number of crashes here on one hand. And that’s over many years of use. I upgrade my program mid-project – that’s how stable Vegas has been here.
Sony has nothing to be “ashamed” of. There’s a few dozen people with problems, versus many hundreds (maybe thousands) of happy users who never go to the forums to not complain.
There is a known bug in the Main Concept AVC encoder, and the workaround is to turn off the GPU in the template properties.
