How would I be able to stream videos?

Ok, I try to find out how to stream videos to TPR, but I can't find any info. I tried youtube, but I could never log in, it's some weird problem that's been happening at WWS and TN for myself. I don't get it, because I have found a way around it on TN and WWS, therefore I'm not banned from there, so I don't know what else to do. I'm also concerned because my video file sizes sometimes go over 100 MB because I simply don't know of a good video compression system.

To stream a WMV, simply Attach it.

And as for compressions, if your Windows Movie Maker doesn't give you options as to what quality to choose (160kbps, 700kbps, 320x240 and 44100hz sound, etc), then you'll have to make AVIs. There are plenty of ways to compress an AVI. DivX, MPEG, 3ivx, Xvid, etc. Sure, DivX costs if you don't want watermarks, but hey! Just use something else then. Go for SDL Codec Pack, or K-Lite Codec Pack.

 

And a fair warning: Ask me where to find this and I'll insult your inteligence on search engines. Things like this have been asked on YouTube far too often. "What's a Pram?" "Where can I buy Rollercoaster Tycoon?" "What the hell is Ctrl?"

Ps. Sorry, just a rough day today...

Windows Movie Maker is the easiest to compress them for streaming. I always use the 520 setting......I think. It's the 320x240 one.

 

Compress and upload. It's that easy.

I use Ulead DVD Movie FActory 3, and using this program called "dvd-to-avi" I use the best codec available in the list of codecs that it has - Microsoft MPEG 4 (Version 2.0) or something like that. The shorter (around 3 minutes) videos to get to be around 40 - 80 megs using this codec, but for my longer (7 minutes or so) videos are nearing or over 100 megs. Dvd-to-avi simply changes DVD files to AVI files in the chance anyone here would (no offense) not be able to discern what the program did after reading it's name. Does that suffice for information?

 

Oh, Edward, what is a Pram, anyway?
