Youtube is great for cats falling off a counter, or a car sliding off the road, or a skateboarder eating dirt. But do you really want your business showcased alongside that?

We are pleased to announce that we have recently overhauled our online video
management system.
As part of this launch, we are offering you the option to
upgrade your existing account to our new system. Here are some key features of
the new system that we think you will find very useful:
* Statistics and Metrics: Our new system provides you with detailed statistics
about your media including total bandwidth used, popularity graphs, custom
statistical views and reports.
* Tagging and searching: From now on, when you upload a video, you can add any
number of tags that will help you find, sort and categorize your video library.
* Ability to add multiple users: Your new account comes with the ability to add
additional content contributors. Multiple users can upload videos to your media
library.
* Increased Security: Hidden paths to videos, rtmp, and other sensitive
information in source codes
* New Players: Updated players with custom choices on sizes, colors, interfaces.
* Live Streaming: Ability to enable/disable Live RTMP streaming (upcoming
feature)
A: No, simply ignore this email. Although we encourage you to upgrade, as many
times, natural software update cycles by Adobe Flash, and video encoding can
render previous versions inoperable after some years. Our upgrades will keep you
on an upward curve in this regard
Q: Sweet! How do I get this upgrade?
A: Please, go to
www.flvhelp.com/support and issue a ticket with subject UPGRADE. We
will send you an email outlining the actual upgrade procedure and any changes
that you might have to make.
Q: Is there any cost to upgrade?
A: No. This upgrade is FREE of charge for all existing customers.
Q: This sounds great but I have a lot of videos already
uploaded. Will I have to upload everything again?
A: No. Upon choosing to upgrade your existing account, we will automatically
import your existing videos into the new system. All we ask is that you do not
upload any new content while this conversion process is occurring. Once your
videos are imported into your new account, we will remove the videos from your
old account in order to avoid doubling your storage utilization on our servers.
Q: How long will it take to upgrade my account to your new
system?
A: Accounts are upgraded quickly, often within 1 hour. However, depending on how
many videos you already have, it may take up to 24 hours for very large video
collections.
Q: Can I use the old system and the new system at the same
time?
A: No. The two VIDEO systems are completely independent and your account cannot
coexist in both of them. But, you can still use another player with the new RTMP
Q: Will there be any changes in the RTMP path of my
existing videos?
A: Yes. There will be a change in the RTMP path for all of your videos that get
imported into the new system. This is necessary component for our upcoming
Content Delivery Network which will provide greater stability and scalability.
Detailed instructions will be provided once your account is converted.
Q: That’s all good, but I use a custom flash player. Will
my videos still work?
A: Most of the players and options added in the new system should supply all you
need.. If you are already using a custom flash player, you can continue using
the existing setup. Of course, if you do upgrade, as outlined above, there will
be an RTMP change that you must make for all of your videos/players. If you
upgrade, we will work with you individually to help resolve any issues you may
have.
Q: Will I be able to upload via FTP?
A: No. Uploads via FTP are not possible with the new system, but uploading will
in fact be more simple. At the moment, our system allows you to upload multiple
files in a single web page. We are actively developing a new uploading module
which will mimic FTP behavior.
Q: What about my other domains, files that you are hosting
for me? What about my mailboxes?
A: Any existing files, mailboxes and other materials that you may be hosting
will us will remain unchanged. The only thing that is changing is the way you
will manage your online videos.
PROTECT YOUR VIDEOS FROM SHARING ! – Instant movie scrubbing too
If you are looking for a “regular” hosting company, choose someone else.
But, if you want to use PHPMotion on FLV Hosting servers for Secure Flash RTMP and HI DEF H.264 Streaming ORDER NOW.
WHY?
Because Flash Server streaming is better when wanting to protect videos from sharing, and instant playback and scrubbing ahead, especially on larger videos.
You install or we can install phpmotion for you for $49.
When you use RTMP Server Streaming, no caching or downloads are transferred to the web users computer, thus protecting your flv videos from being downloaded.
Flash Server Streaming does cost more, due to the licensing cost for the number of SIM CONNECTS to the streaming server. This is important to note, we are not competing against “regular” hosting, we offer true server streaming.
The prices below reflect the number of sim connects permitted along with the bandwidth allowances.
Q; Why is your pricing higher than others I have seen?
A: We provide RTMP Flash Server Streaming. This means your flv videos stream directly from the server, with no caching or downloads. With that, is a cost for licensing for the number of SIM CONNECTS . We supply the largest storage and bw allocations for Server RTMP Streaming
Q: Why would I use RTMP Flash Streaming ?
A: To protect your videos from being downloaded into temporary internet files, and prevent sharing. On larger videos, there is also no wait when scrubbing through the video to different places. Instant playback. When RTMP is NOT used, then the user must wait until the video is cached before viewing. RTMP allows for instant playback.
Here is an example of streaming versus progressive Progressive
Try to move the slider bar to another point forwards in the video. It wont “go” to that point as the movie has to cache into the temp internet folder
Now to compare Go here and move the slider anywhere you want. The file streams instantly !
This is Flash Server Streaming.
We also have a player modification you can use to enhance your video playback. CLean looking player as well as advertising support. Add an image and link and the advert will display for a length of time you decide.

H.264 Hi Def streaming is here. It is recommended to compress your video files for easier streaming, especially in cases of hardware configurations as described below. HI Def on the internet is still in it’s infancy, but is becoming more accessible as connection speeds improve, and encoding becomes more rounded
If you want to view HD and Hi Def H.264 videos in flash or
Quicktime, better be prepared for hardware upgrades.
If serving videos to clients, be sure to warn them what they need to view
properly
In some cases at least 1 GIG of ram is needed
So yes HD is coming, but like all new things to the market, there is a catch up
learning curve along with usability
Recommended Hardware Configurations for H.264 High Definition (HD) Playback
To play high definition video, a large amount of data must be processed by your
computer. A powerful system will deliver the best playback experience.

and thats just the hardware
Dont forget the internet connection too
Some lower speed DSL “cheap” will just flat out not be enough to stream HD
without choppiness or stutter
What are the minimum requirements for H.264 video streaming?
A) A high-speed Internet connection with at least 700 Kbps and up. 5mbps is
ideal.
Also, it is important that this Internet connection is not shared unless you
have higher connectivity speeds.
For example, if you share a DSL line in your press box and a couple of
photographers begin transmitting photos, that could cause buffering or network
congestion with the video. You can get a good idea of how fast your connection
is by plugging into the network you’ll be using and visiting http://www.testmy.net
Your IT department can also tell you if your network meets these requirements
You can generally use wired OR wireless connections, but again, be aware of the
speed .
Stay tuned for further notes on H.264
FLV Hosting Servers are capable of streaming H.264
compiled videos.
If you are looking for a “regular” hosting company, choose someone else.
