Video Websites
Video is a medium that has really arrived on the Internet. With high-speed bandwidth becoming the norm across the country/world, new technologies have begun to thrive online. Online Video is one such technology and it has become an excellent choice/option for displaying and showcasing information on your web site.
Video is a form of PUSH technology which allows you to push your information to your visitors instead of them having to request it (via hyperlinks, forms, etc...)
While there are many ways to display video online, Flash stands out for several reasons. It is the most ubiquitous and common video player on the Web, with almost every browser having the Flash Player as a plug-in, powerful compression capabilities, the ability to be streamed or made player-based, and its smooth playback. All these reasons make it the preferential medium to other media types (such as QuickTime or Windows Media).
Whenever possible, our designers utilize real-time streaming to mitigate the need for the visitor to wait for an entire file to download before they can experience it. Additionally, we always try to use development methods and media types that do not require visitors to download and install software / plug-ins to fully experience your web site.
