How to put a movie into my site for download or at least quick viewing purposes?

Question

When I add movies to my site, like for example, a preview I made, it's about 50MB, I upload it via my FTP and when I go to view my own site, it just says buffering. Granted, it IS buffering, but I would like people to see the movie, not wait 10 minutes for it to come up!!!

Also, I am not sure how, but I would like the code to make a download available from my site. I make and produce movies and short video clips, and can't seem to figure out how to add a download link.

Thanks a lot in advance, obviosuly the first person that gives the right answer gets best answer.

Answer 1

Your talking about Streaming Media, you'll need to contact your website host with regards to it and if is it available.

Or you could perhaps try to link to a video frYou-Tubeube. Or even a flash vidplug ingin.

Compress your video using better codecs 50MB would be a hefty download from some users out there! Try without sound as well to make the file smaller unless you need it of course.
