Streaming Video for your website	Can't Post

Hello Friends,
If you own a website and need to add some Streaming Videos (totally codec free) you can have a look at this product - www.webamplayer.com. The Software adds and generates your webpages - video ready in just seconds and all you have to do is upload. I am posting this since there might be many friends around here who needs to display some nice videos on their website but havnt been able to get a true solution.
Kind Regards,
mediafreak

With all due respects, if you already have the video in an FLV format, the rest of the job is easy. The work (and skill) in getting the video compressed into Flash Video format (FLV) is where all the value added is located. There are several good Flash video players out here already.

Totally agreed. However though I converted my videos with the Riva Encoder (uses the ffmpeg opensource engine actually) yet I could not find a suitable solution or a Flash Player that *DOES NOT* uses the Default Flash MX Video Components as a direct measure to stream videos. A SWF which uses Flash MX Video Component will be typically > 50 Kb in size. Webamp is only 19 Kb is size. I asked the Webamp guys if the size could be more compressed, they said that if you want a video player to stream a single track only we can frame it below 3Kb with all controls added!! Webamp is 19kb because it contains the facilty to stream from a playlist of videos.
But definitely yes the value lies in the conversion.
