Streaming Video
Maybe you
want to
offer your
customers
a way to
see your
product or
service in
action.
Or maybe
you want
to deliver
speeches,
marketing
materials
or
training
in a
cost-effective
manner
using the
Internet
and the
web.
If you
believe
that video
could make
your
business
expand
more
quickly
and
profitably,
then
streaming
video or
video
integration
with your
web site
could be
technologies
for you.
Video over
the web is
not as yet
considered
a
"mainstream"
technology.
There are
still some
issues -
both
business
and
technical
- before
adoption
will
become
more
widespread.
Quality of
service
(video
requires
consistent
and fast
packet
delivery),
the large
number of
Internet
users
still
relying on
slower
dial-up
access
methods
and the
complexity
of
existing
products
make it a
technology
only for
the
adventurous.
With that
in mind,
before you
begin
delivering
video over
the
Internet -
or think
of doing
video
conferences
with your
customers
or
business
partners -
a few
things to
think
about.
(Additionally,
other
video
tools that
are
available
and can be
useful to
video over
the web
implementers
are listed
on our
Review
of Video
Conferencing
Software
and
Review
of Video
Editing
and DVD
Burning
Software
pages.)
-
Your
web
development
software:
Make
sure
that the
package
you've
developed
your
site
with (or
are
planning
to
develop
your
site
with)
supports
multimedia
- video.
Some
packages
don't
and
you'll
be in
for a
very
negative
surprise
if you
don't do
your
investigation
up
front.
-
Your
expertise
and/or
the time
you have
available
to
develop
the
video:
Producing
and
editing
video
can be a
time-consuming
and
complex
task.
If you
don't
have the
time -
don't do
it!
Get some
help!
-
Your
site's
traffic
and
storage:
Video
files
(even
compressed)
aren't
small
and
before
you
begin
using it
on your
site,
check to
ensure
that
your web
hosting
plan can
accommodate
the
storage
and
traffic
requirements
of
adding
video.
(And
make
sure the
performance
of your
hosting
partner
is good
enough
to
deliver
video as
well!
Check to
see how
many
customers
they
already
have
offering
video -
and talk
to one
or two
if you
can to
get an
idea of
their
satisfaction
with the
video
experience.)
-
Your
system:
If you
are
editing
video,
there
will be
significant
demand
on the
CPU,
memory
and
storage
resources
of your
system.
Make
sure
your
system
MORE
than
meets
the
minimum
requirements
stated
by the
vendor
for
successful
software
implementation.
For those
of you
brave
enough to
enter this
world....
Some
vendors
offer more
than one
package in
this
category.
We'll
review
them in
table
format
within
that
vendor's
detailed
review.

For the
capabilities
that
Adobe's
software
provides,
they've
done a
pretty
good job
making the
installation
process
and using
the
software
as simple
as
possible.
You'll
probably
have more
problem
with the
video
camera set
up (if you
use a
PC-based
one) than
the
