66208 2002-07-29 10:38:00 Yeah you'd just give them the link.

ie. yourname.orcon.net.nz

66209 2002-07-29 10:39:00 vk_dre,
you just upload the site to the orcon space. When you join the orcon community you get a name, so the site address becomes something like http://vk_dre.orcon.net.nz, people going to that site will be able to download at whatever speed their conections support, the orcon server is fast, orcon are part of NZ's backbone, so good speed is garanteed

66210 2002-07-29 10:48:00 Hi there,

What about reposting stating the format of your movies and asking what format would be a good one on the web?

Last year in a multimedia class we used a video camera to create a movie, extracted bits out of it with another program, then imported the bits into Director to create a condensed movie which then created an .exe file. Also, as I remember, this was then exported as shockwave.

Trouble was, it was on a Mac using very expensive software.

Could be a creative and fun exercise which would teach you lots of multimedia skills AND make the files much smaller.

There are bound to be people round here who could point you to cheaper, PC based sofware.

66211 2002-07-29 10:52:00 thanks JM and chris, i already have a orcon site, but if i had a .wmv or .avi file that was like 8mb, would the link that JM gave work? e.g.
myname.orcon.net.nz /a>
or
myname.orcon.net.nz /a>
would that make sure that the person on the receiving end can download that file?

cheers,
v.K------------ :D

66212 2002-07-29 10:53:00 the only problem is that orcon may have a size limit on there files..... i seem to remeber seeing something like that as i signed up for mine..... Chris Wilson (431)
66213 2002-07-29 10:57:00 thanks for ur reply heather, i really don't have the time to play around with new tools + i'm pretty slow at getting to know them a lot better. but also can u answer this, if i had an 8mb wmv file, would i be able to use virtual dub to encode it to divx/avi and would this compress the file size as well as make the graphics better.

cheers,
v.K-------------- :D

66215 2002-07-29 11:09:00 They have a limit of 500KB but they don't seem to enforce it. -=JM=- (16)
66216 2002-07-29 11:50:00 you can link to anything you like....

total size limit, and file limit are NOT the same thing.. to quote the orcon site.....
