Putting Video on the Web @ BAE
Streaming Video- Production video files are often large files sizes and need special lockers that can both store and stream them to the web. Faculty wolfware course lockers have dedicated media folders set-up to automatically streaming web formatted video. The BAE web site also has a streaming video folder for non-course video materials.
Downloaded (Non-Streamed) Video- Today many new digital cameras/phones can shoot minute long videos which do not need to be streamed or stored in a special locker. These small video files can be linked like any other file on the web. Due to the fact that the video is short the files can be downloaded rather than streamed to the viewers machine.
