Playing Video on Website

[JohnBoy2005]

Hi,

This is a general advice question.

When would you consider using FLV/SWF/Flash Media Server on a website to play video over just embedding a WMV into the page. This is for my schools website, max simultaneous users would be about 30 to 40.

I would like to develop a "Youtube" type style of media web page with a preview (photo) of the video to be played. Any tutorials anywhere on how to acheive that.

Many thanks in advance.

John

They have some very easy to use flash components (some free) to use on your website to embed flv files. You may like media list AS2.0 it is free and the set up is fairly easy.
