Can some of you folks go to 2Yellow.com and click over to the graphics page and play the video. It is a streaming WMV file. It buffered quickly for me, but I would like to make sure that it starts relatively quickly for all.

Thanks!

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Nothing clickable to play a video. It could just be me... You know... me and computers.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

edit: I found the video under graphic design not under video production. Really cool.

It's been about 4 minutes and it's only 41% buffered. Could just be my computer? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Hey Sean,

Very impressive clip!

IMHO, it might be better to make it clear what visitors are going to expect
Mine didn't start playing automatically until the entire video was downloaded, which takes a while
Others may not be as patient, specially if they don't know exactly what they're waiting for
Might be a good idea to add a page which just simply displays the logo's you've been showing in the vid as well.

Oh... one more thing...
No offence, but the website doesn't look near as good/professional as the work you guys pull off
In your line of work, that'd be a big no-no

Firefox downloaded the whole thing first. Took about 3 minutes.

IE took a while to find it ... buffered about 20% of it then started playing while the rest downloaded.

Very slick video, by the way! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

I've got DSL here at the office. I let it buffer 5%, then hit play, it didn't catch up to the buffer until about 1/2 through the video, and then it locked up. Did it again, allowing allowing 15% to buffer (took about 30 sec.s) before hitting play, made it all the way through that way.

Nice presentation, but I got all excited when I saw "Hilton" thinking something "special" might be coming up. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) 4:36 before it started playing, it had buffered 66% at that time and the whole clip played smooth while it was downloading the rest ...

pretty nice clip, how big is it in size?

Andy,
I think it's 24 megs.
I tried some other codecs but wasn't happy with the image quality, so I ended up with a 24 meg file, which isn't too bad because most folks have broadband of some sort.

The buffering issue is more a client side issue than server side. I think it just depends on the way a person has their computer set up. In Media Player, you can go to Tools --> Options --> Performance and set the buffer however you like it. I don't know if there's a way to override that.

I guess I'm a little late.
But anyway. it started right up for me.
I'm on cable (time warner) and using windows media player 9 under windows 98.
64Mb geforce 2 video.
256MB ram, P4 1.7

there was some slight popping in some of the audio, almost sounded like an old LP. could be my cheap on board audio, but I haven't noticed it while playing any other music.

Otherwise, it looked and sounded great.

It finished buffering soon after, but it wasn't playing.

Then I rememberd to press the "play" button. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif)
