Three
Options
Video
content
uses large
files and
is slow to
load, by
using
video
streaming
part of
the video
file is
loaded into
a buffer
on your
computer,
when the
player
calculates
that it
has enough
video in
its buffer
it starts
to play
and
continues
to down
load the
rest of
the video
file while its
playing.
This
system
loads
considerably
faster
than using
a full
down load
but it can
stop
during
play if
the
connection
speed
changes.
Even with
a video
steaming
system
waiting
for videos
to play
especially
on a
dialup
system can
be
extremely
frustrating
so with
most of
our video
samples
you will
be offered
three
choices.
Quick
Preview
:
Designed
to give
you an
idea of
the video
content
with out
the long
wait. This
is a very
small file
and
depending
on your
connection
and system
speed it
should
start to play within 10 to
20 seconds.
To allow
the file
to load
this quick
sacrifices
have to be
made, so
as well as
being a
small very
low
quality
picture
the frame
rate is
only 3
frames per
second so
it will
also be
very jerky
during
moving
content.
Dialup
MODEM :
Designed
to work with
dialup MODEMs.
This is a
still a
small file
and
depending
on your
connection
and system
speed it
should
start to play within 2 to 5
minuets.
To allow
the file
to load on
a dialup
system
sacrifices
still have
to be
made, a
small
low
quality
picture
with a
frame rate
of 12
frames per
second.
Broadband :
Designed
to work with
Broadband
only.
The file
is 10
times
larger
than the
dialup
file and
gives a
reasonable
quality
picture at
a full
frame rate
of 25
frames per
second.
DVDs :The
file size
on our
DVDs is
about 100
times
larger
than our
Broadband
files and
over 1000
times
larger
than the
quick
preview
files.
