If you\u2019re putting video on your website, you want as many folks as possible to watch it, right?\u00a0 No matter if your viewer is using Windows, or Apple, they should be able to watch it quickly and without hassle.<\/p>\n

There are more than a handful of multimedia formats, and some players don\u2019t play them all.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m a PC \u2013 always have been; always will be.\u00a0 Here\u2019s something I didn\u2019t know \u2013 not all Windows systems have Windows Media Player pre-installed. On the other hand, not all Apple machines have Quicktime pre-installed.\u00a0 Windows Media won\u2019t play Quicktime files. Quicktime doesn\u2019t like Windows. But there\u2019s one format, and one player that works with both operating systems.<\/p>\n

When it comes to putting videos on your website, Adobe Flash has a lot going for it.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The small file size means it loads quickly<\/li>\n
  2. You can pre-set the buffer size, so it starts playing immediately<\/li>\n
  3. It embeds easily into webcode<\/li>\n
  4. You can determine how you want the player to look.<\/li>\n
  5. You can view it full screen if you want<\/li>\n
  6. Mobile devices are using it. \u00a0(It\u2019s true, Flash doesn\u2019t play well with the Iphone.\u00a0 That\u2019s why you also need an MP4 version of all your videos.)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Your website visitors don\u2019t want to have to wait while a video downloads. Give them the experience they want, and the information they need, and they will actually spend a longer time on your site.\u00a0 My average viewer spends almost four minutes on each page.\u00a0 And there are effective and affordable video players which will even generate the code for you.\u00a0 All you do is plug and play!<\/p>\n

    Do it now.\u00a0 The longer you wait the further behind the curve you will be.\u00a0 Video is not a craze.\u00a0 It will become as ubiquitous as text and images are on websites.<\/p>\n

    –That\u2019s A Wrap.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
