Best Way to Put Large Video File on Web site
-
When I put my video file which is wmv about 4M on my web server directly and using html embed wmp to display the video, it seems very slow or even not displaying the video. Any suggestion so my large video file could be played on website without waiting for a very lone time WITHOUT using streaming server? Is that convert video to flv and played by flash player a good solution? Many thanks.

Without streaming, the entire video will need to download before it starts to play. I don't understand why streaming is not an option here. It is generally built into the web server. You might not want to host a separate server just to host media content, but streaming should be possible. What type of server is the site hosted on?

Thank you. Infact I would like to embed the video on my website. Is it possible to embed the video using wmp then when user click on play button no waiting time?
There should only be a small delay when streaming. The link I gave you explains that the metafile is the only file sent to the client, for it to locate the media you wish to stream over a network. I have only ever used Audio streaming, and that didn't require streaming services on the web server. Maybe someone else can verify whether video is any different. :)
