Took me 5 minutes to download, but my Sprint Wireless was never the fastest. I haven't viewed it yet. Obviously since I downloaded first, buffering won't be an issue anyway. And I believe that (download or stream) is pretty much a browser config issue.

OK, I'm gonna need some more help here. Since you all say our web page sucks (it does) it's time for me to do it and fix the mess. This is what I would like it to look like. The text will roll over as the "Video Production" shows. I would like all of the action to take place inside the ring where the YELLOW logo is now. Can I do that without Flash? (cuz I don't know it) Any other ideas?

Thanks again!
-sean

Any other ideas?

you could cut it in frames (or use a ! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stromberg.gif) !) ...

BUT, frames are always rectangles, so you would have to compromise some of the area inside the circle ...

i HATE all flash web-sites ...

Using CSS, you can layer the items on the page. That would allow you to use slightly larger rectangles for the info in the middle as the corners could be hidden behind the ring. Only problem with CSS right now is the really cool CSS features aren't supported the same in each of the browsers. So it might take good deal of tweaking.

Oughta be a fun project though!

I saw something about CSS in GoLive and in the source code on that web page you sent me to.

What the hell is CSS? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Mine started playing after about 10secs of buffering.

Media Player 10 on XPSP2, GeForce video on an 1.8Ghz, 768mb of RAM.

I heard the popping as well in the codec, probably just encoding.

Looks great though! I work closely with streaming media at work, we Multicast across a WAN (now THAT's FUN and pisses off the Telecomm guys to no end).

later,
Tom

CSS = Cascading Style Sheets

First designed to facilitate the easy managment of fonts and color schemes and stuff. It was later developed into a much more flexible and powerful tool controlling darn near everything. It can cntrol the entire layout of a page down to the pixel (a lot better then tables) but its not as well supported. DOH!

The circle looks very cool. Should be fun to work it out.

Having said that, write your content first. Think about what you wanna show on your site and build the layout around that

It's easier (and you usually gets better results) if you do it that way then trying to fit your content into something that looks cool (but is a PITA for your visitors to browse around on)

the content won't change for now. No one wants to write anything, so we're stuck with what we have but presenting it in a better fashion. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Just because it isn't complicated enough already.
I want the user to be able to switch at any time between the black chrome background or the yellow chrome background. I think I have this one licked...but the other main part is tricky, although I am confident tomorrow will be fruitful...

this is the yellow chrome.

I love the circle idea. It looks like a fish eye lens. (camera lens) Is that what you were after? Cool.

Sean, I like the first circle best, because the "Yellow" logo has the best contrast in that one
The second still has some contrast, but it doesn't make the logo stand out as good as the first one.
The third hardly has any contrast with the "yellow" logo and therefore focus on the logo is lost.

As much as I like the look of the background effect, it takes attention away from the logo. Not good IMO

Beyond that, it would be a PITA to put content/text over a background like that (readability would be crap)

For web-design, I always go with the rule: less is more, simple is good

Just my € 0,02

cheers,

Jeroen
