streaming video...how to?

[dragoneyes]

Hi all! I want to add some home movies of myself on my site. Can anyone point me in the right direction as to how to go about doing this? I know basic html, that's it. Any good sites I can go to for "step by step" instructions? Thanks in advance!

Are you talking about simply puting up a few clips with no serious protection? Basically, "quickstart" vs. true streaming? If this is the case, simply upload our movie to your server and create a standard html link to it like you would any other image.

If you are talking about true streaming, you need a streaming server or, space on a host that offers a streaming server.

If you ar talking true steaming, your best bet is to use a host who offers streaming servers who can set it up for you.

My personal prefference is QuickTime Streaming Server - fast, and unlimited connections for one price. If you use QuickTime 6 and compress to MPEG4, you will get about the best quality available for given bandwidth. But then, I am biased being a Mac user.
