Hi Wojo,
Thanks to everyone for the help and compliments!
I use Cutesite Builder for the website because its very easy to use and
with
a lil imagination it can look pretty decent. And I used Windows Movie
maker
of course to make the video. I then just added the file to my file
directory
on tripod which is my host and then added it to my site as streaming
video,
which is very easy to do when you are using Cutesite builder.
Thanks again for everything and if ever in the S.E area of Michigan
please
stop in and introduce yourselves. You'll find all the information on when
and
where to find me on the actual bio portion of my site.
Sincerely,
Kevin Pruett

I agree with Papajohn the site looks great and the video plays very
nicely
now.
Out of curiosity what software did you use to create the website and to
put
the video up?

PapaJohn,
Thanks for all of your help!
I adjusted the html and set it for 600 x 400, and it makes a great
deal of
difference. Lots easier to see! Dont know why i had it set for the 400
x
400?...lol. Anyways, I also set it for autostart and removed the
controls.
Looks pretty good now. Let me know what ya think. And if you get the
time,
check out the rest of my online biography, of which the Helicon
reunion is
a
part of.
Thanks againl!

the bitrate of your movie is 665 kbps... that's how much data is
flowing....
and bitrate is equivalent to quality.

the movie you saved in Movie Maker is 640x480... and you're having
the
browser squeeze it down into a 400 pixel embedded player on your web
page.... by the HTML settings of the page.

I read that as having higher quality flow across the internet but
then
squeezing it to lower quality in the browser. For the same data flow
you
could have the browser view it at the full 640x480 at no more data
cost...
or if you prefer the 400 pixel size, save the movie at that size
instead
of
at 640x480... you could lower the bitrate proportionally and get the
same
quality.... resolving some of the viewing issues.... see the Saving
Movies >
Custom WMV Profiles page of my site for info about making a custom
profile.

Thanks to everyone for their help and comments.
PapaJohn, you stated that I should make a "custom profile" to put
more
info
into the 400 pixel video......."
I'm not quite sure what you mean. Could you please elaborate and
instruct
on
how to do this.
Thank you very much once again!

..... and my final comment... the movie is 640x480 but you're
constraining it
in the embedded player to 400 pixels... your bandwidth setting is
good
but
it might be better to make a custom profile to put more info into
the
400
pixel video rather than having the web page constrain the larger
size
to
the
smaller dimensions.

I tried it on 2 computers... on the first one, it took longer
than
normal
to start but ran fine when it did... started at a more normal
time
(seconds) on the 2nd one

On both I had to click the start button twice for it to go....
if I
expected to see it with one click, or if I expected it to play
automatically, maybe that would be an issue.... you have lots of
space
on
the page, maybe tell viewers what they are supposed to do to
start
it...

Ok, I'm new to this so If I'm in the wrong place to ask, please
forgive
me.
I made a movie (wmv) using the windows movie maker and have it
placed
on
a
portion of my website as a streaming video.
Problem is, I can view it when i visit the site from my
computer
and a
few
others can view it from their computers, but alot of people are
telling
me
that either they cant get it to work at all, or they get just
the
video
and
no sound.
What requirements are needed to view this correctly and is
there
anything
I
can do to make it more compatible for the majority of the
people
who
view
the
video.
Heres a link to the page with the streaming video just in case
you
want
to
check it out for yourself.
Any information would be appreciated.
Sincerely,
Kevin
