Streaming Media Movies

See 11 samples below

The following samples are various types of small streaming media movies which IMPACT TELEVIDEO has encoded for internet download using standard servers. All these videos will play in real-time if you have a fast enough internet connection (using cable modem, DSL, or a T1 connection) & a fast enough computer.

Over the last 4 years, Doug Hembruff has become a very experience compressionist (the art of encoding & compressing digital movies) for the internet, or larger versions for CD-ROM & hard drive applications. Please contact Doug Hembruff if you would like your video encoded for streaming media in any format (RealVideo, QuickTime, WMV (Windows Media Video)(formerly call Advanced Streaming Format), AVI & MPEG1 (for CD-ROM) or MPEG2 (for DVD).

Starting the summer of 2003 IMPACT TELEVIDEO will also begin internet hosting services of streaming movies for companies & institutions who wish to have their promotional or training videos available over the internet, without the bother of using up space or bandwidth on your own web site. These movies will link seamlessly from your site so that nobody will know that they aren't playing directly from your own site.

Please note that any internet movie that plays in the Windows Media Player (such as WMV, ASF, AVI & MPEG1), may only play through the Microsoft Internet Explorer browser, they may not play through some versions of the Netscape browser if you don't have the appropriate plugin. However, you can download the movie through Netscape by right mouse clicking on the file & saving it to your hard drive (save link as), then double click on the file in your hard drive which will launch the Windows Media Player & play the movie. MPEG1 movies can now play in the QuickTime 5 player on PCs, so if you're using Netscape, you may want to install QuickTime 5 as your preferred movie player for MPEG1.

Please note that if a high bandwidth movie stops during playback to buffer up, that means something in the internet chain can't maintain the required data rate bandwidth for that movie. It could be a congested server where the movie is being hosted from, or a slow server hop along the way to your computer, or your modem might not be fast enough.

For any RealVideo (.RV) samples shown on this page, you'll need the free Real One Player Basic or higher.		For any QuickTime (.MOV) samples shown on this page, you'll need the free QuickTime Player version 6.		For any .ASF, WMV & .AVI samples shown on this page, you'll need the free Windows Media Player version 6 or higher.
Please download the correct version for your operating system & install it.

SAMPLE 10:

The following GROUND UP 50 second portion of a movie is in 4 sizes & frame rates so you can see which works best for your internet movie.

These are all using the Microsoft ASF (Active or Advanced Streaming Format)(Now known as WMV Windows Media Video) using the MPEG4 V3 video codec & the Windows Media Audio V2 codec. It will play on the Windows Media Player, directly from Microsoft Internet Explorer, but if you're using the Netscape browser & it doesn't work, you'll have to right mouse click on the file & "save link as" to your hard drive & play it from there. This movie doesn't have a lot of motion in it, so it compresses to about 55% the size of a movie that has constant motion & dissolves.

320X240 raster size (sometimes called 1/4 screen & is a bit large for internet delivery to older computers) & there are 15 frames per second. The total data rate is 329 Kilobits/second (309 for video & 20 for audio) & a Pentium 133 will skip some frames but still play adequately.

240X180 raster size (an ideal size for internet delivery with a high bandwidth connection) & there are 15 frames per second. The total data rate is 193 Kilobits/second (173 for video & 20 for audio) & a Pentium 133 will play this properly with little or no skipped frames.

160X120 raster size (a bit small but you can still make it out) & there are 10 frames per second. The total data rate is 80 Kilobits/second (60 for video & 20 for audio) & a Pentium 133 will play this properly with no skipped frames. This is a good compromise size when you want the same movie to be played in real-time by fast connections like cable modem, but don't want the download times for 56 Kilobit/second telephone modems to exceed 2 - 3 times the length of the movie.

120X90 raster size (barely worth watching) & there are 7.5 frames per second (quality is not high). The total data rate is 40 Kilobits/second (24 for video & 16 for audio) & a Pentium 133 will play this properly with no skipped frames. The nice thing about this file is that it can be played in real-time from a 56 Kbps telephone modem with a good connection.

SAMPLE 11:

Available as:
a progressive streaming Progressive Streaming High Bandwidth RealVideo G2 movie
at 256X192 by 15 frames per second (total data rate 481 Kilobits/sec) for fast internet connections like cable modem or ADSL.

Also available as:
a Progressive Streaming Low Bandwidth slide show
at 232X136 (data rate 38 Kilobits/sec) with a new frame each 4 seconds, for real-time using a 56 Kilobit/sec telephone modem.
