Streaming video??

Post by stuart »

Can anyone tell me if you can actually see a proper joined up film if you log on to any sites offering Streaming video
or will it be a succession of intermitent pics, also can you save it to your computer or is it lost??
In other words is it worth joining any sites offering this service alone

PS
I am using a 56k modem

In ye olde days when I had a 56k modem,I found sites offering streaming video painfully slow .You would be far better off if you had broadband.If thats not an option with you I wouldnt bother

On my site I have videos that you can download onto your PC in .zip files in 1 minute or full length scenes (full length being between 5 and 25 minutes).
By downloading them this way you get the full quality without the stopping and breaking up that you get with streaming videos, especially on a 56k modem.
The members prefer it by far.
Hope that helps.

All the streaming videos i've seen have been of poor picture quality, definately not worth paying for.

Unless you've got Broadband it's not worth.

The other thing which can be annoying is mpegs without sound.
