Streaming video

Just replace the links and width + height parameters. Then put that in Notepad, save as .TXT, and change to .htm

It buffers about 10 seconds on my PC before playing. Your connection might be skinny.

The other alternative involves an RSTP server, a “Hinted” for streaming file with several “audiences” included. The server will determine the connections speed and deliver the appropriate audience.

Mike,
Thanks. It works great just the page has [start code] and [end code] written. Is there a way to avoid?

Never mind, I just deleted the brackets. What are the best settings for a high res stream?

Hi
Although I posted a general question, I’d love to hear from you since you were kind enough to give me this HTML code.

I’ve exported my 5 min PPRO clip to QuickTime and tried to get the best res with the largest size streaming video. By setting it to LAN, it won’t go past 320×240. When I try to manually up it to, say, 400×300 the results have some unstable video with lines appearing randomly. Is there a way to get it bigger but to keep the res? I know it comes with a price of a bigger file.
Thanks
EG

Pro cant effectively export QT files for the web. The Sorenson Basic codec is lame. Windows media Video or Real Media will work much better. Video resolution should remain 4:3 and divisible by 16, like 480×360. Bitrate between 250 and 1000 kbps can be used, but the restraint is the target’s connection.
If you really need QT, then buy Squeeze…it has the Sorenson Pro codec which is fine.

Hi Mike,
By Windows media video, do you mean media player? or it is a software I need to acquire? 480×360 would be great if I can keep the sharpness. Bit rate wise, the larger the better?
Thanks

Windows Media Video (.wmv) is Microsoft’s video compression done in Pro’s Media Encoder or a free encoder from Microsoft. The higher the bitrate the better, to a certain point. 2 pass Bitrate VBR at 480×360 at 1 mbps should work well.

Hi Mike,
Well, I picked Windows AVI from the media encoder. Then I tried high quality broadband and that was pretty crappy. I’m trying now the 1024 download and I had to change the size because it defaults to 320×240. Are these the correct choices?
Thanks

The Presets are just a starting point to create custome presets. Sounds like you are in the right direction, except there is no AVI…just Windows Media.
