MacroView, XAML and EID - New Player Approach
As mentioned in a previous post, there are some good free video hosting services around these days but there are pros and cons with using them. The approach that will be taken now is to use a hosting company with good value for both disk space and bandwidth usage plus the addition of a flash based video player hosted on a torq site. The expected bandwidth volume isn’t high (i.e. not consumer level volumes) so taking this approach is reasonable. I toyed with idea of developing a flash video player in house, but its hard to beat the value inherent in something like wimpyplayer.com. This blog post includes the embedding of a pre-existing screen cast, this time at 640x480 resolution. There’s also been additions to the main menu of the torq web site. Soon these will be augmented by videos from the MacroView 2006 User Group which was a great success.
