Flash videos (link to free video)

I've been talking to some experts who suggested we take a look at Flash for the video clips on our site. Although the quality is not as high as the best QuickTime or WMV, it's pretty good and is much more idiot-proof on both our end and the user's end since most people have a the Flash player and it's not platform or browser specific.

I went ahead and encoded one of our solo clips here and was wondering what your thoughts are.

Not loading for me Andy.

Loads for me (using FireFox). Good quality stream. What's the bitrate? I'm on cable and it buffers slowly.

You're right, it works in FF but not IE. And it loads very slow and then it stops buffering but it doesn't start playing automatically. It does look good though.

Btw, WOOF @ the model and the photographer! ;)

Firefox 1.5 and it loaded fine for me.

For the screen size, it is very good quality - no anomalies.


Nice job :thumbsup:

I'm on IE -- 5 minutes and it still hasn't loaded yet. It's at about 53% now.

Push the 'play' button.

I, @ only 2%, clicked and watched with no issues.

I'm actually not sure why it doesn't start automatically. You can hit the Play button within a few seconds of the page loading and it plays fine.

Yeah the model is hot but the photographer is some kind of freak. What kind exactly we haven't figured out yet ;-)

Oh for DOH Sakes! My brain is fried from everything I'm trying to do all at once.

Time for a break. Thanks. :)

OK no issues for me. Looks pretty decent.

I like the wetspot on the guys jeans. ;)
