    Flash for playing movies on tours?

    What are you thoughts on using flash encoded videos for site tours. I came across hugemoviepass and noticed they were using flash for the video samples. Do you think this will be the standard way of showing teaser clips sometime in the near future on site tours. Any major Pros or Cons .....Topic open for discussion

      We use both flv and wmv. The flash for the instant gratification and the wmv for the large framesize and bitrate videos (1280x720 at 4Mbps and our 720x408 medium size.These sizes might have issues streaming at those bitrates). A lot of people are using shit flv encoders and making poor quality Flvs. If you are making Flvs, use a real encoder and don't use ffmpeg. Also, until downloading flv's and standalone flv players become more popular, I wouldn't make the transition to an all flv tour.
      It's better when you can Switch.

        What do you use for a FLV encoder?

              That's good advice too

                I assumed right now flash would be the tipping scale with the heavy web usage of Youtube pushing flash as there playback medium and it playing right within the browsers.

                I just havent seen a huge push of flash with adult online video sites.

                In anycase and Does anyone know any good inhouse companies who do the encoding or any software flash encoders & flash settings for good looking quality flash video . We aquire in HDV footage 16x9 aspect ratio.

                  maybe why using flash on tour is :

                  - loading experiecing..
                  - lots of animations on it
                  - in movies.. smooth playing and fast buffering.....

                  i hope that can help

                    We just redid the video page on our tour. We've used flash for about 9 months now but just bumped it up from one vid on the page to 4.

                    What do you think? http: // girlsoutwest.com/tour4_videos-flash.html

                    Had to play with the url because I haven't made 30 posts.

                      Adobe Flash seems to have surpassed Quicktime and Real and become the most popular streaming video plugin for browsers these days, only second to the Windows media player which already comes with any Windows PC. The biggest advantage of Flash (flv in particular) is its fast loading feature which is especially "practical " in adult industry. If you are looking to convert "everything" to flash, it's also very important that you have a solid streaming host with an accommodating custom player.

                      If you need a large quantity of movies encoded into flash, we can provide professional quality encoding service for you at a very reasonable price and fast turn-around. I'd like to invite you to visit our website and check out some of our demos. Also, for streaming hosting needs, please check out our partner company mediaconductor.com. They have the most versatile player and flash streaming solution.

                      Good Luck!

                        Flash is good for now, but Silverlight's VC-1 video codec just simply dominates anything flash offers so keep an eye on that in the near future.

                        Silverlight also will support DRM so that's a plus as well

                          We use flash on our tours - we have set up a background image that will be displayed when the user disabled flash

                            We're building a lot of sites with flash videos on the tour, I definitely think it's the way to go

                              I gave it a go with very simple fades on monfucksyoung.com and we quite shocked how well the site converts.
