Extreme Research Corp.: Jerry Clark

Professional Speaker Jerry Clark speaking at a recent Extreme Research Corp event in Dallas Tx. Extreme Research Corp.: Jerry Clark: "This example was shot with a hand held digital camera in low light conditions. Even though it was a difficult environment, the message still comes through quite well. The Fisher Camera records in an MP4 format which can be directly compressed and uploaded without any conversion."

FileStreams Demo Account: Dr Stan Harris

Dr Stan Harris speaking at a live event for EcoQuest in 2001. FileStreams Demo Account: Dr Stan Harris: "This presentation was converted from a VHS tape. Even though the entire presentation was compressed down to 44.2MB (broadband version) it maintains a great level of quality similar to a DVD conversion. Normally a presentation like this would be segmented into 4-5 minute segments so they load faster (especially important for dialup). At the end of each segment it automatically forwards to the next segment, so the presentation remains seamless."

FileStreams Demo: GM Commercial

FileStreams Demo: GM Commercial: "High Impact TV Commercials are one of the most challenging formats to work with due to the extreme camera angles and intense motion. The original file was a mov ( 12.4 MB, 400x316 Pixels ), by compressing it we were able to reduce it to 6.3 MB in size. In order to maintain the quality of the video we reduced the video size by 25% to 300x237. 25% reduction in viewing area is an excellent tradeoff for reducing the file size by nearly 50%."

Add Video To Your Blog

Video Blogs are becoming all the rage as it's the most cost effective way to drive thousands of viewers to your blog. However, the video streaming service that is best for you depends upon what type of video you want to stream and how much experience you have with video software. In general, using Flash-based video is much more cost effective since it doesn't require a streaming media server. Services such as InstantVideoGenerator allow you to record directly to the server using a webcam. This service is based on Flash Communication Server and is very convenient if you simply want to be able to talk to your subscribers and give them updates. If you want to be able to upload and encode existing movies or movies from a digital camera or other source, then you need to use a software program such as Sorenson Squeeze to convert the file to an flv file before uploading it to InstantVideoGenerator. If you don't have much experience working with Video it can be an incredibly frustrating experience. In this case, you should consider using a service such as FileStreams that will convert the videos for you and place them online. They only offer business accounts right now, but will be expanding into simple hosting accounts shortly.
