joebabyny Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 So, say you were to log onto a site that had a bunch of large video files available to view, like a "sports highlight" site(lol), and the files were generally 20-30 minute long scenes-er i mean highlight reels, and about 2-350 megs per clip. Do you do the streaming thing that starts as you play it, or do you just download the clip, maybe along with a second, then come back in a few minutes when it is done and downloaded onto your drive. OR as a third option, since the files would take up lots of harddrive space, do you just do the streaming route where it never downloads, or do you find that to be a ripoff? Just taking an informal poll here, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoping4ASuperBowl Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 I barely have enough patience for those slow streaming videos...and to have to wait for a whole download about the size you mentioned, id probably kill myself before its done. There other thing i noticed about this too is that, like me, i have my demo reel on my website and the first time i put it up the movie file was embedded for streaming and when I was looking for interviews some companies asked me if there was something wrong with my video. They're like yeah your videos not loading, i dont see anything, all cause their too impatient to wait for the whole thing to download. And that sucks because I definently dont want the people interviewing me to already get tired of me because my demo reel didnt load quick enough. So i say if its not streaming, its not worth waiting.

ECURB Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 Well you know people get nervous thinking that those "sports highlight" downloads will be a virus... but downloading is the better way to go... most people have DSL/CABLE now and it would be quick... BTW - do all JetNation members get to join this "sports" site of yours for free? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
