[Ndlb-developers] streaming videos

[Andres M. <amo...@ga...>]

Hi everybody,

I am currently researching the various deployment options for video. For web
display I propose the following to resolutions:

What do you think? 

Downloading the full resolution video would also be an option. These can be
generated automatically through ruby code (including the thumbnail
generation not illustrated there) and played via flash, which is how youtube
and google video work. Notice how nice this open-source player is. It also
supports synchronized captions (although I haven't checked if it is Unicode
compliant). Notice that streaming is supported which is really nice. We can
do this for all the short clips from ILCS which are the core of ritual and
have no real dialogue or narration.

Take care,

	Andres
