FAQs

 

Q. I want to stream over 1 hour of DVD quality video in REAL TIME. Can I do this with your service? A. Yes. We recommend at least our Basic 2 account if you plan to stream DVD quality video.   Q.   A. My web host says I can do streaming video with my account. Do I have streaming capability? Most likely, no. Over 90% of the time we are asked this and look into it, we find that the web host is not operating a streaming video server. What they typically support is "progressive download". Your videos are thrown on the same web server as your web pages and images. When you view the video you are actually downloading the video. You cannot jump immediately to the end of the clip because you have not downloaded the whole clip yet. Our streaming video accounts allow you to transmit video using RTSP-UDP and RTSP-TCP, which are communication standards that were designed strictly for streaming video and audio. When you use your web hosting account for video, you will only be able to transmit video using HTTP-TCP progressive download. HTTP-TCP P.D. was designed for web pages, not streaming video.       Q. Why should I use your streaming video accounts? A. The hardware, software and systems selected for our streaming video infrastructure were designed to do one thing well, stream video. Your current website hosting account is not providing you with a professional streaming video implementation. Our streaming video accounts co-exist with any website hosting account. Our streaming video accounts allow you to stream your video in real time. You have no progress bars, almost instant startup, and can jump to any point in the video you want at anytime. Our systems allow you to stream video using RTSP-UDP/streaming, RTSP-TCP/streaming, HTTP-TCP/streaming and HTTP-TCP/progressive download. Your existing web account will only allow HTTP-TCP/Progressive download, which is usually the worst video distribution approach. There are many other performance and service related advantages when using our streaming video accounts. Please read on, email sales@FaithWorks.com to discuss further.
