[QUOTE="phoebe, post: 31566"] Hi, I'm new to this forum and hope you can help me out. I'm a web designer that has a client who is a filmmaker. I created a site for his production company about a year ago and I'm still maintaining it. Here's the situation: He's got a public access tv series that he records on 3 1/4 beta and would now like to make the switch over to the web. He wants to stream one new episode per month (runs about 30 min. each) for people to view, and if they like it, he wants them to be able to download the episode for a fee. I would like to be able to accommodate him but I think I may be getting in way over my head! My client wants to convert each episode over to DVD so that I can work off of that. I'm thinking I can just put it onto Quick Time but then I heard something about needing an encoder to compress it down even more. Obviously, he wants high end resolution as well. Plus, I was told that I also need to create 2 different versions to accommodate Optonline, DSL, and AOL users??? Needless to say, I think I grew a few grey hairs over that one! I work on a G4 with Mac OS 10.2.8 and an 800 MHZ processor. The website is hosted by Verio and they support Real audio/video. I work only using a Mac and am somewhat more familiar with Quicktime. What are some of the first steps I should know about to even consider if this is feasible??? Any suggestions or links you can point me to would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance...:eek: [/QUOTE]
