Streaming Media Compression Chart
Ever since the world wide
web was established, users have been clamoring to watch videos
online. From movie trailers to family videos to instructional
sessions, the web offers a lot of opportunities for new methods of video
communication. However, if you've tried to
encode video from your editing application to stream over the internet,
you probably understand how daunting it can be to get your settings just
right. Whether you're looking to
transcode formats, go out to the web, or investigate CD or DVD as a
delivery medium, the programs below have many features to make your life
easier -- and your video pristine. Due to space limitations only
those products actually sold by Digital Video Direct are listed.
For more information on any one product just click on the picture and
the link will take you to that product in the shop. Please see the
notes section at the bottom of this page for the
explanation of any special symbols. Any errors or omissions are
unintentional.
