Sophi Italy	Thursday 21 April 2005 10:28:30 pm I have some short seminar videos I would like to make available to (authorized) visitors, but do not want them to be able to easily download it and re-distribute. I think this means it needs to be streamed. (true?) The ez demo site has some examples of video content. Is this streamed? Is this functionality somehow built into ez, or does it need underlying Apache support? Thanks.
Ralph Ekekihl	Friday 22 April 2005 2:30:31 am Hi Sophi! I think you are confusing some terms here. Streaming Video is often used to describe technology that is capable of playing audio or video while it is still downloading. This saves you some waiting. Without streaming you'd have to wait until the entire file downloaded before viewing or listening. That makes it harder to download, but not impossible, then you have different technologies to protect your material, like DRM for example. Most common streaming technologies for Video Streaming is Realmedia and WindowsMedia, they have different solutions for streaming and protetction of the material. No streaming servers are included in ezPublish as far as I know, this is something you have to aquire from ex Realnetworks or Microsoft or whatever format you choose to use. Check out following URL for a free RealMedia server to try out: http://www.realnetworks.com/products/evalservers.html I am not sure if there exists some nice free open source streamers, maybe someone else knows that??

Jonathan Dillon-Hayes	Thursday 28 April 2005 12:17:27 am There are many options. You can embed the video (like a quicktime movie) into the eZ system. This is probably easiest. It'll do httpd streaming (basically, the web server handles the "streaming" so it's not true streaming). The other way is to use an outside server to handle the video, and just embed the object (literally it's usually an <object> tag). This works by pointing the link for the embed to the outside server, or "handing off" the request to an outside server. There are many solutions. I personally LOVE the quicktime streaming media server, but I love quicktime. Here are some links to consider: https://helixcommunity.org/ http://www.apple.com/quicktime/products/qtss/ These are the two biggies. Hope that's helpful. If you find this a bit overwhelming, find a host that will let you install one of these with point and click (we do, and I think some of the other partners might). Best of luck!
