Using audio/video on your web site?

What type of information is important to understand before using audio/video on your web site?

It is important to know that all the technologies that have successfully managed video and audio over the internet use packet streaming. All video-streaming systems perform buffering. And, the four companies dictating what can be done with video are, Microsoft, Apple, Macromedia (purchased by Adobe) and RealNetworks.

One web site that contains audio/video:

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/  “Breaking News, Weather, Business, Health, Entertainment, Sports, Politics, Travel, Science, Technology, Local, US & World News – msnbc.com”

This is a 24-hour news channel featuring stories and video from NBC News, and The New York Times, Newsweek and the Washington Post. When watching video http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21134540/vp/26523861#26523861  you are able to select your next video even as you are watching another video. The videos will also continuously play through the video catalogue.

The benefit of audio/video and its use for information for the clients and the users?  The original concept of this website and company was to have video on the web related to the stories on cable t.v. This continues to be the concept and with new technologies (silverlight) the clarity and capabilities are increasing. This company succeeds due to the audio/video content and the clients and users expect quality a/v content.

LSK # 61 – # 65

61회 내 말이 맞지?

비가 올 것 같아. I think it’s going to rain. 내 말이 맞지? What I said was right, wasn’t it? 거봐. See that.

62회 차라리 굶겠다.

웬 일이세요? What brings you here? 농담 아니야. I’m not joking! 이걸 먹느니 차라리 굶겠다. I would rather starve than eat this.

63회 아저씨는 구두쇠

어쩔 수 없지. It can’t be helped. 지갑을 안 가져왔거든. I didn’t bring my wallet. 구두쇠예요. You’re such a scrooge!

64회 아깝다.

제가 갈게요. I’ll go. 너밖에 없다. There’s no-one quite like you. 아이, 아깝다! What a waste.

65회 파김치 되다

파김치가 다 됐네. You look as worn out as limp green onion kimchi. 다녀오겠습니다. I’ll be back later. 아침인 줄 알았어? Did you think it was morning?
