Implications ?

Compression Tips

Bit/Data Rate Controls the amount of video information that must be processed each second during playback. Higher the data rate the higher the possible quality; Visual content quality still factors in Broadband: Set to 128 kbps; 56K set to 40kbs

Streaming vs. Progressive Progressive Download: The movie player calculates how long it will take to download the movie and begins playback once enough has been downloaded so that it can play back uninterrupted. Streaming: Doesnt download a file to a hard drive. Quality of video constrained by network or modem bandwidth.

Video Encoding Formats.flv /.f4v: Flash video codec H.264: Format for most mobile devices MPEG: 1,2,4 – Compression standard.m4v: MP4 that plays with iTunes. mov: Quicktime Format.wmv: Windows Media.rpm: Real Player
