Video plays an important role in web communication. It has proven popular and effective with most audiences. We’re here to help you take advantage of this medium.

Ideally, you want something that users can watch at a reasonable resolution (and in full screen if they desire). Something that has a reasonable quality, but does not take forever to download. It should also be possible to stream the video to the user, so they can start watching it even before it finishes downloading.

The answer is FLV. This is how YouTube and Hulu do it. And, its how we do it too! Call us to learn more about video post production and captioning for accessibility in your next Web project.

This is a public-domain video from archive.org. It’s an old public service safety bulletin on the dangers of cleaning with gasoline in the home. The video started in the MPEG4 format. It was transcribed, then converted to the FLV format. Captions were created, then the code written to enable the video to be played, with captions, on this page.
