Use FireFox. Are you surprised you're having issues with Ubuntu?
To keep the videos in a streaming format, they will need to stay in Quicktime. Yes I can make a Flash video, but with out a Flash server it will only progressively download. That means you have to download it....and wait.
Furthermore, streaming technology and quality is far more advanced with QT than Flash.....for now. (Flash still has streaming audio issues/packet issues)
- A Flash server allows x-amount of people to stream at once, unless you buy the $3000 unlimited version.
- WMV streaming servers charge per user
- My QT server can handle 2000 simultaneous feeds for free, which is located at my office on a Verizon fiber network
- If Adam or anyone wanted to broadcast a live feed from ANYWHERE, it can be bounced off the QT server and fed through the web site. Can't make the National Gathering? Watch it live
This isn't a battle as to who thinks what is better.....Streaming video costs $$$ and this is the best solution for US, since I own the server and am not charging for bandwidth.
The QT player is free, you can skip to the end the instant the video loads, and the quality is great (will be better this evening) What more can you ask for?
