Streaming video in web site?

I have a real estate client who wants to show 2-3 minutes
snippets of the homes he's selling. I'm not sure of the best way to
do this, as far as streaming the video.
A previous client who used a lot of video got me hooked up
with a special hosting company that specifically had things set up
for streaming. But I've been told that's not necessary, that any
host can "stream" these types of files. Not sure if that's true or
not.
Any advice?

Easiest thing to do is call your host and ask what streaming
media they
support.
The easiest way is going to be using Flash Video, you can use
the
encoder that comes with Flash and be up and running in no
time at all.
Just let your client know that the more times the video gets
watched,
the more bandwidth is eaten up. Most hosting plans have a
limit, many
don't just stop your site from receiving traffic, but some
do, so make
sure your client is prepared to suddenly getting billed for
excess
bandwidth.

  • QT streaming video in web site -

    Hi,
    my problem is: I have streaming QTs in my web site and in SAFARI they sometimes look o.k. and sometimes the user just sees the tool-bar and hears the sound. I suppose SAFARI would display QTs allright but does not.
    This problem does not occur with other browsers.
    Has anybody an idea what the reason might be?
    Thanks
    Rolf

  • Cant watch videos on web sites?

    how come i can watch you tube but cant stream videos on web sites?

    Videos require a plug-in that isn't included with with Safari browser. The iPod Touch can only watch QuickTime embed videos (go to http://www.apple.com/itunes and scroll down to the bottom, you can watch the "Now Playing" section).

  • Cannot load live video streaming on certain web sites

    When I go to a horse racing site to see live streaming video, I press the play button. When I do this the word ready that is on the video screen very briefly changes to connecting to media and then reverts to ready. No matter how many times I click play this continues to happen. I have tried this site on Chrome and IE and the same thing happens. The site was working ok until I upgraded to Firefox 4. I then downgraded back to 3.6 and now it stopped working there.

    What web pages is this occurring on? Have you tried to reset Firefox? [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]]
    A few other basic trouble shooting things you can try is this:
    Run all Windows Updates, install all needed service packs, etc.
    Update your graphics driver (Firefox uses your graphics card for some rendering, and an out of date graphics card driver can cause problems. [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-upgrade-my-graphics-drivers https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-upgrade-my-graphics-drivers].

  • Need Help Streaming Video From Web Server Built Into Application - Linksys WRT54g Router

    Very much appreciate any help getting streaming video feed from web server built into video application to work properly using port forwarding on my Linksys WRT54g wireless router.
    Here is the situation:
    My PC is connected to the internet via a Linksys WRT54g wireless router.
    The Windows XP Pro SP2 firewall is enabled, with a firewall exception established for the video camera application.
    On the router, forwarding of port 80 is enabled for the LAN IP address of the PC running the video application with an embedded web server, and the web server in the video camera application is also set to use port 80.
    I have a free DYNDNS account and also run the DYNDNS updater program on the PC running the video application with embedded web server. According to the DYNDNS web site and the DYNDNS updater program, the IP address assigned to the machine running the video application with embedded web server is set correctly in my dyndns account.
    When I open a browser (Explorer or Firefox) on the PC running the video camera application with embedded web server, I am able to  connect to the video application's web server by going to the dyndns address linked to the machine running the video application. The video application's web server is set to use the dyndns address. That's the good news. The bad news is that I can't connect to the video application's web server from any machine that connects to the internet that uses a router other than the router used by the PC running the video application. I am only able to connect to the streaming video from the application's web server only on machines that connect to the internet using the same (home) router used by the PC that is running the video application.
    Since I am able to connect to the video app's embedded web server successfully on the machine running the video application, it seems that at least something about the current port forwarding settings is correct. For example, if I uncheck 'enable' for forwarding of port 80 on the router settings page, I am no longer able to connect to the video app's web server when I try to do so in a browser running on the machine running the video app. When I re-enable port 80 forwarding on the router, I am again able to connect to the web server of the video application on the machine running the video app. I thought that by enabling forwarding of port 80 on the router and associating that port with the LAN IP of the machine running the video application, it would be possible to connect to the streaming video of the video app's embedded web server from ANY machine connected to the internet, but that is not the case. There must be some other router settings to update/change in order to get the port forwarding working to enable a successful connection to the video web server, but I am stumped. Very grateful for any suggestions as to how to get this working properly.
    Thanks in advance...

    The firewall log can be configured on the third tab in the window for the firewall settings, where you can turn the firewall on and off completely.
    From your tests, though, it does not seem to be the firewall. However, to be sure, it would be good to check the log. It will help to eliminate the firewall as the culprit and you may find it handy in the future, too. ;-) Just don't forget to turn the log off again after you are done because it may cause some performance penalty on your system while on.
    From what you write, it seems as if I should give a little networking background on the ip addresses you'll see. Your setup is (or should be) a modem connected to the WAN/Internet port of the WRT. The computer is connected into a LAN port of the WRT.
    Your router has two IP addresses (that's what makes it a router): a WAN address and a LAN address. The WAN address is the address assigned by the ISP. It is a normal internet IP address. Everyone is able to send packets to this IP address. The WAN address is the one reported by whatismyipaddress.com, it should be listed in the dyndns record and it is the address that your router shows on the Status page. It's the public IP address of your router. Dyndns maps your dyndns.org name to that IP address.
    Your router also has an IP address on the LAN side. You can configure it to be whatever you want. The default is 192.168.1.1 with netmask 255.255.255.0 and it is better to leave it like that or at least inside the network 192.168.*.*. 192.168 is a special, reserved IP address range for private networks. Basically, routers in the internet are not supposed to forward addresses in this range. That makes them suitable for private LANs as the packets never can get anywhere. Most people using Linksys routers have there LAN in 192.168.1.*.
    The router acts as gateway, which means it forwards packets from PCs in the LAN to the internet and back. As all your PCs in your LAN share a single WAN IP address, the gateway does address translation (NAT). This works only in one direction: from the inside to the outside. The router remembers when a PC in your LAN sends something out and accepts the responses in and sending them back to the PC. If something comes in from the internet which cannot be associated with a ongoing communication the packet is dropped unless you use port forwarding.
    All computers in your LAN either have a static IP address assigned or use DHCP to get it automatically. The router has a DHCP server as well which gives out IP address from 192.168.1.100-149 if not changed. With a router with default settings static IP addresses can be in the range of 192.168.1.2-99 and 150-254.
    ipconfig /all reports your IP address in your LAN, i.e. an address 192.168.1.*. The gateway in this output should be 192.168.1.1 which is your router. And packet no in the LAN address range 192.168.1.* is send to the router which forwards the packets into the internet.
    An address 192.168.1.* should not appear as internet address in the Status page of the router nor should it appear at dyndns.
    Port forwarding is used to operate a server in the LAN. By default, a server in the LAN cannot be reached from the internet. You have to configure port forwarding for this. You configure that traffic bound for a specific port (e.g. TCP port 80 for http) on your WAN IP address is forwarded to the same port on a specific LAN IP address. If your server runs on 192.168.1.50 than traffic to your WAN IP address port 80 is forwarded to 192.168.1.50 port 80. That way your HTTP server can be reached from the internet. As you can only configure a fixed IP address in port forwarding it is recommended that the server uses a static IP address and not DHCP as in the latter case the IP address may change over time...
    O.K. so much for networking. I hope that makes things a little clearer and you can verify that your setup is how it is intended to be.
    I suggest the following: on the router's security page there is an option to block WAN requests. Remove the check if it is set (meaning: do not block). After you did that change you should be able to ping your WAN address (e.g. ping xxxx.dyndns.org) from the internet. That way we know that it is on the correct address.
    Also on the Administration page make sure that remote management is disabled (should be like that per default) or that the management port is NOT 80 but for example 8080. What is your your UPnP settings on the same page?
    O.K. that should be enough for the moment...

  • Playing video from web sites

    I keep getting messages staying that I need plugins to play video content from most web sites. When I go to the recomended sites to download the plugin I am unable to open the plugins on my Mac Book Pro. Is there a simple solution for this?

    Quiktime video should work fine.
    For windows media, you can download and install Windows Media Player 9, incwhich case Safari will prompt you with a message that it can't play the movie in the browser window, but will ask if you want to play it in a seperate application (i.e window media player). If you answer in the affirmative, Window Media Player 9 will automatically launch and try to play the movie - and fail 50% of the time.
    You can also download Flip for Mac, which adds windows media support for Quicktime. Meaning you will be able to play windows media player movies inside quicktime (embedded in web pages). The catch with this is that you have to force Safari to run under "Rosetta" - unless Flip for Mac has released a universal binary in the last few days.
    By the way, some people claim that even to get the windows media player solution to work (the one where it launches separately) you also need to set safari to run via Rosetta, but this is not the case.
    Long term, your best solution is the Flip 4 Mac add-on for Quicktime, but for now its a little quirky and we will just have to wait for them to update it to run universal.

  • Exporting video to web site

    Ive just completed a short three minute movie and I am having an impossible time trying to exporting it to a web site. I would like it to be viewed in a Windows environment rather than QuickTime.
    I believe that I accurately provided the correct server, port, directory, file name, user name and password information as called for in the Location and Settings dialogue box. After uploading to my server, it looked like a .flv file was created.
    However, when I made a link to the .flv file (Im using Dreamweaver MX2004 and Premiere Elements 4 software), the resulting web page was a bunch of gibberish. I would like to know what I am doing wrong.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Steve:
    Thanks for your input.
    For me, Dreamweaver is a very difficult program to understand and I don't have the slightest clue on how to embed a Flash player on a web page. I also am at a loss as to how to save a project made in PE4 as a WMV file. When I save my project, it appears that PE4 saves it as a .prel file.
    Perhaps I'm confusing things, but I really am totally lost here.
    Thanks,

  • Streaming video on web

    Can anyone point me in the right direction, im trying to play a wma video file through a published director movie type: DCR - Html, the movie loads and streams on my local server, however when uploaded and played via the web a red cross appears where the video should be...>:>?

    strike all that... lack of sleep...
    videos are not imported (unless they are flash), they're simply linked... did you upload the video, and if so, what's the path to the video (member("video").fileName)? that's probably your issue. It's probably easiest to set the fileName using code and make sure it's relative by using the @ symbol... look it up in the help... I don't do anything with Shockwave so I'm not up on all the details/nuances.... however, if memory serves, you should put all external media in a dswmedia folder. This link might help: http://www.adobe.com/support/director/internet/security/security03.html
    <original text - please ignore... flippin' formatting options in the editor don't work, it would seem so cannot strike it out>
    wma stands for windows media audio, not video - that'd be wmv. A red cross means that you didn't include the proper Xtra or ActiveX control. If you are using an Xtra to play the video then go to the menu and select Modify --> Movie --> Xtras... then  make sure the Xtra is there and checkmark the "Download if Needed" option... if the option is grayed out then that means the Xtra is not shockwave safe.
    ... however, if you used an ActiveX control then you're SOL when it comes to a shockwave movie... the only browser you might be able to use an ActiveX control would be in IE... but that's highly unlikely too b/c of security issues. Either way, an ActiveX control will not work in any other browser.

  • Streaming Video through Web Content Overlay

    Really would appreciate some help here. Whenever I link an HTML file containing a MP4 video through the Web Content Overlay, all the other body text in the pages no longer render as vectors (the text becomes pixelated). The video is in H.264. Any ideas?

    Does the video streaming source link has the same page resolution as your folio is? Did you check the option "scale content to fit" is web content overlay?

  • Streaming videos slow from sites that recently worked OK.

    Video streaming from some sites, e.g., http://www.ussoccer.com/News/Referee-Programs/2011/09/Referee-Week-in-Review-Wee k-28.aspx, and others,
    recently working normally.  Now, extremely slow streaming to current 2011 21" iMac, old G4 'mushroom' Mac and Intel Powerbook (core duo).
    BUT THEY JUST RIP ON AN iPad!  SpeedTest shows about 10 Mbps download.  Similar slow result for wired ethernet connection and over Airport.

    It's an intel Mac, 2.66GHz running os10.5.8. I normally use Safari unless it crashes- then I use Firefox. Safari is 5.0.6 and Firefox is 3.0.6. Both Safari and Firefox have had their fair share of crashing recently, but it doesn't seem like the video streaming problem lies in the browser. The computer itself seems to run very hot during video, which I'm sure is relatively normal, but maybe it's been overheating or something. If I let it cool off for a bit the picture gets better but still not close to perfect. I just want my iBook G3 back- that thing worked like a charm for 7 years haha

  • Streaming videos on my site

    I have created an MP4 file in PP CS4 which will be embedded on a page on my website. The file is hosted on screencast.com, a media hoosting site.
    I understand that PP doesn't create MP4s which support streaming, but must be converted first, otherwise the entire file will download to the user before beginning to play.
    What is the best way to accomplish this?
    Thanks for all the help!
