Hi, I've just completed a few videos for streaming on my webpage.
Depending on your audience do you want to optimize it for people on cable or 56k modems.
The later will produce poor quality.
I used the wmv 256k template and produce acceptable quality.
see here for examples: http://www.renway.com/videos/streamvids.htm

what template are you using to render to wmv?

I need render for all people:
56k, ISDN(64k) and ADLS(256K).
Can I checkbox on all the bandwidth selection at the same time?

Hey, Fetchthis, I watched your videos. The one with the Jedi kid was really cute. Couple suggestions. Since you're encoding at 256K make the video larger, like 300 by 285 or even bigger, like I do mine (400 by 350). I think your aspect ratio was off. You have to experiment with the width and height values a little.

As far as jeff23's question about encoding for 56K and higher, I haven't tried that but maybe some expert can give an opinion. Would be a good idea since I have relatives that have 56K and others who have cable modem. (Course then you wouldn't want the window so big would you! Oh, well :>)

At what bitrate? There is a tutorial on rendering/editing for the web at our website, www.sundancemediagroup.com, look at the bottom of the home1 page, you'll see small print showing tutorials. or visit the Vegas pages,
www.sundancemediagroup.com/help/download.html and you can get to other web tutorials for streaming there.

Thanks Spot, saved it as a favorite so I can look it over tomorrow. Got to get up early!

Paul thanks for the tip. The aspect ratio was ok, I just forgot to resize the WM player frame. It looks ok now.

Jeff23, your question about the choices for 56k & cable users is a good one and I also wish there was an easy way to do this.
It looks like you're going to have to render two projects for each video, one at 56k & one for cable/ISDN users then have links to which the user can select.
I'm not sure if this is the correct way but I don't know what else there is, unless you purchase a webstreaming server that can do this, but this is way out of my league.
Maybe some web guru out there can come up with a better way beacause I'd sure like to know also.

I'd like to do something like this:

I have two questions:
What is Asf?
With vegas video I can`t export in this format.
Another question:
I put a video in a web page with wmv format and the first time the video is playing with pauses because it is download, but the second time I see the same page with the video, the video must be download another time.
There are some parameter for to the video remain in cache?
Sorry for my english.
