Streaming video questions (??)

[chessrock]

Anyone know how I might set something up on my web site so that people can watch a streaming video along with music?

Right now, when I post examples, if someone wants to view them, it's like it takes all of this time to download first, so I'm looking for some method of viewing them quicker and easier for people who might not be on T-1 lines.

Thanks in advance.

you're saying the streaming video and the music are separate right? if that's the case the connection would have to load each part up before it will play. There's no way it would all play at the same time on a dialup connection. If it is one file, than it would still need to complete the load before playing unless you want choppy start/stop video.

How big is the file?

The files are anywhere between 15 to 30 MB Quicktime files.

I suppose that's a large chunk of the problem, eh?

Any suggestions on formats / compression of the file to get that down, without necessarily sacrificing too much of the quality? MPEG-4 perhaps?
