OT: iTunes BAD for video playback
-
How about if you use iWeb to create web pages thru .Mac? This way each can select what they want to see and if you want, you can make separate web pages for each of your clients and giving them the address for their web page.
I’ve only done this once for one client and it worked nicely.
Just a thought…

That’d be good, if it wasn’t for the 720p or SD specs of the loops.
Better have them locally on each location.
I like the net a lot, but don’t trust it much for continiuous streaming yet.

iTunes is excellent at video playback for just what you are doing. Since iTunes leverages QT then the quality is exactly the same.
It does have playback problems if you allow iTunes to copy the video to it’s library folder. No reason why it should it’s just one of those things.
Make sure your clips are set to ‘high quality’ and the display resolution is correct (like 1024,576 for 16:9 PAL).
Been using iTunes for ages for just this type of video playback on plasma screens and Mac Mini with hi-def animations in QT. FC Server is overkill for something so simple.

You don’t have to access files over the internet when you use a web browser, you can just as well address local files. That’s actually a very common mistake for web beginners, their first attempt with pages point to files on their own computer instead of files accesible over the net.
If you keep all the files needed for the project in one folder, copy that folder to the rest of the computers at the same place on the identically named harddrives you should be good to go. I’m not that clever myself with web coding but I’ve seen this done.
Otherwise the free media player VLC have playlists that can be saved. I never looked into that feature so can’t say if it would be useful for your project.
cheers
