Hey guys & girls.
We are designing 100+ of them for our new program and wondering what everyone wants movie galleries to be?
I've been noticing A LOT of problems on my 4-5 machines here in the office playing mpeg movies, IE6 seems to keep crashing all the time when we try to view qmov.com mpegs or even braincash.com's galleries or anybodies, if i view them in windows media streaming it just crashes IE6 or windows media.
Our current galleries we are using are in wmv, fit twice the video in the movie for the same size. Load faster for visitors. And work perfectly on all our machines.
If we designed our galleries in all WMV files, would that turn any of you away from using them on movie posts? Do you REALLY need mpeg or would WMV being the new standard be ok?
WMV after all works on 95% of machines and it auto downloads from microsoft the latest codec if needed.
I just hate the idea that 1000's of people would have there browsers crashing from these mpeg movies. We have winxp fresh installs that are crashing from trying to stream mpegs and fresh win2000 installs doing the same, downloading and playing them is fine but not streaming. Do any of you have the same troubles?
Btw our WMV movie galleries are converting like a mother! So they can't be bad, but hey were here to do what everyone wants so any input would be great
Thanks again
Cheers
Matt
