The player technology from http://flvplayer.com/ just might be what you have been

looking for.  The simple and free way to stream video on your website,

the FLV Player will get you going very quickly.  With a very user friendly, web based

interface available, the website and technology gets my ‘2 thumbs up’ vote

as a great service and provider.

The FLV player is released under the Creative Commons License.

You do not need to purchase a license to use this player on your website

(even commercial sites).

However, the FLVplayer brand logo will always be visible to your viewers

unless you buy a site or multiple site license.

A site license is only required if you wish to remove or

change the branding on the FLV player itself by using your own

logo or branding.

In my view, this player and associated interactive embed code generator

is a great service for the entrepreneur just entering the video blogging or

video marketing venue.  Way to go DEVBASE.  They also maintain a community

based forum for peer support as well as technical advice.

Below is a short demo of the player (embed code generated from the

interactive website).  The video is being streamed from Amazon S3.

The original 15 sec. video file was an avi file (57 Megabytes) compressed

and encoded with the VP6E codec.  The resultant video demo playing

below is 15 secs., 963kilobytes and bit rate targeted to 272 kbps streaming

delivery.

and the changes took much longer than expected.  So, I wanted to thank you for

hanging in there while all the tech stuff was being performed.

The best thing is my new theme is, well, UNBELIEVABLE!

The new theme is just so flexible to work with and when I’m

finished with all the customizations I have planned, I’ll let you know.

Thesis Theme is really a programming marvel and the user interface, documentation and

user support is superb!

Check it out for yourself and do yourself a big favor…

We are currently performing scheduled maintenance and a theme change.

We plan on being back with you tomorrow.

Learning the art of host your own teleseminars is a great place to start an internet business presence. Even if you do not have your own products to market and promote, teleseminars are a proven revenue strategy

Teleseminars are now all the rage for increasing exposure on and off the Internet. Business owners large and small are engaging the teleseminar strategy to enhance brand recognition, streamline training systems and market and promote products from pencils to multimillion dollar real estate properties.

After the teleseminar event, the recorded audio file may be transcribed into a printed document, edited and published to promote the teleseminar topic. And this is where the new landscape of Rich Media marketing and promotion is beginning to make powerful inroads into business.

By combining all the media elements into one very powerful, portable and interactive document, business owners, marketers and promoters are changing the landscape of internet marketing. The Rich Media document provides the business owner a revolutionary cornerstone ultimately leading to more marketing conversions and stronger bottom line profits.

The interactive multimedia document addresses potential clients with the written story line (text), the power of the human voice (audio) and the visual power of Internet video (multimedia). And now available inside the pdf transcript of the teleseminar, interactive forms are employed to poll audiences and collect and analyze response data. Another very powerful forms strategy is to embed an autoresponder form inside the pdf teleseminar transcript. The reader may at anytime provide their contact details and make them available to the business owner from right inside the pdf transcript of the teleseminar.

So, very distinct and powerful media elements may be combined into one document. A Very Rich Media document powerfully marketing, promoting and generating revenue for the business owner.

In summary, a teleseminar event may be transcribed into text from the audio file of the teleseminar call. The audio may then be streamed into the pdf teleseminar transcript providing a voice over option for the reader to listen to the call as they read. Graphics, video, autoresponder forms and a call to action message may then be added to the transcript producing a truly powerful marketing and promotion tool for the small business owner and/or entrepreneur.

And multimedia is a media content form brought to life with

text, graphics, audio, video and animation.  Interactivity has

many applicational definitions in Internet usage.  So, as the term relates

to Rich Media, interactive may be phrased as media content with a

programmable action definition.

Rich Media

Let’s look at a quick example.  Text media, the most powerful media element,

may be programmed as a hyperlink.  When the reader clicks the pointer

on the text hyperlink the associated Internet browser is directed by the compiled

software to open the url target set by the author.  In most cases, text which is blue and underlined

is a text hyperlink in blog posts, internet website pages and pdf documents.

Hyperlinks in pdf documents and website programs may also be programmed commands

for graphics, audio players and video players.  Buttons, forms and form elements may also

carry the hyperlink programming definiton.

So, let’s journey back to the basic media elements of communication i.e.,

• Text
• Graphics (still images, drawings, images)
• Audio
• Video
• Animation
• Interactive (actionable definitions)

All these media elements are available to the author, writer , IM content producer and business owner (both on-line and off-line)

as building blocks to produce content.  Content which is designed to move human emotions and result in

a reaction by the reader/viewer.

March is pdf Rich Media Month I am announcing my new pdf document design and production service,

pdf Rich Media Services.

pdf Rich Media Services

The service receives content from business owners (in the form of a black and white text document), audio files, video files and interactive content is programmed to produce a RICH MEDIA pdf DOCUMENT.  The resulting Rich Media document represents a new era pdf production and content distribution, The Total Experience Document.
