Streaming Video Online (how to convert video so your audience can watch it on the internet)
Bismillah ar-Rahmaan ar-Raheem,
Since I do everything with a Mac and its a hassle to download the quicktime player because Apple forces you to download their itunes.com software too (yeah it sucks that they do that), so I thought it would be a good idea to post how to convert your videos so you can stream them online (including how to convert them from .mov (Mac Platform) to .wmv (Windows platform). Personally, I think .mov (Quicktime) is so much better in quality and compression that its counterpart .wmv (Windows Media Player) but more people have Windows Media Player than Quicktime. If you have video clips, you should offer them in both .mov and .wmv streaming formats so viewers on both Mac & Windows platforms can watch them.
When you make your films in Final Cut Pro or Premiere you get these huge export files. FCP exports to .mov file format (viewable via quicktime player) and Premiere exports to .avi file format (viewable via windows media player). FCP allows you to use “quicktime compression” so you can get your .mov files small enough to stream online but if you did you video clip with Premiere and ended up with a huge .avi file, then you are stuck with this huge file. The solution is to convert it to a .wmv file format, which allows viewers to watching in streaming format using Windows Media Player. You can convert .avi to .wmv format by using a free program called Stoik Video Convertor 2.0. The program also allows you to convert .mov to .wmv but you will need to buy the full version which is only $29.

In a previous post, I posted the two video clips we did quickly in the garage. The audio/video sin’t synced properly and we filmed it in a matter of minutes using just a camera and an idea (yeah no lighting except for whatever was in the garage). The idea was to show the dramatic difference between using one angle (clip 1) vs. using many angles (clip 2). I have converted the .mov (Quicktime) files to .wmv (Windows Media Player) using the Stoik Video Convertor program. Both Clip#1 & Clip#2 should open up in Windows Media Player and I have put links to the Quicktime versions of the same files below as well. Check it the difference:
CLIP#1
(using 1 angle - the way we use to do it)
VS.
CLIP#2
(using multiple angle - the way we do it now)
(quicktime versions for the same clips: clip#1 vs. clip#2

Seeing these kind of posts reminds me of just how technology truly is undeniably integral to our lives in this day and age, and I can say with 99% certainty that we have passed the point of no return in our relationship with technology.
I don't mean this in a bad way, of course! Societal concerns aside... I just hope that as memory gets cheaper, the possibility of transferring our brains onto a digital medium becomes a true reality. It's a fantasy that I daydream about all the time.
