Any Sorenson Squeeze Experts? re: FLV ?

The people that are going to be viewing the videos aren't going to be on 56k connections. Your broadband file was large too, wasn't it 27mb?

Yes but I have 70kbps version too.

any idea about having several links to videos open in the same video player window?

Depends how you want to go about it, as I said there's many ways. you could even link it to playlist from a drop down menu. I don't have the code handy but if google it you'll come across it pretty quick.

any thoughts on the MBR setting for wmv in Sorenson Squeeze? What exactly would I type in Google to find out about linking several videos to the same embedded player? (thanks for your help by the way)

That's the first I've heard of that, I've never seen a script for doing it. Never looked either, probably require javascript which I don't like using if possible if you were doing it in a html page. If you can pull that off with Flash that might be better because you can jack the bitrate up insanely for high bandwidth connections.

My only point was that WMV produsces a higher quality file at lower bitrates, at least compared to your examples.

Maybe "embed media player" You'll find literally thousands of examples for different ways of embedding a media player. Even ones for using the users default one...... try adding drop down list to the search.

ok, well that MBR thing didn't work at all! I went on netzero dialup and tried it and nada, it didn't "adjust based on my connection" However, the flash on the dialup at least played some b4 it had to download more, the wmv didn't do crap so based on everything, flash is the way to go.
