In my attempt to make the front page grow more and more, I wanted to test a way to play streaming video on a web page, without so many painful settings and whatever.

First, I was trying out FLV flash movies. They had to be down-sampled to 30 fps and the quality wasn't always gonna be great, especially if you remember what Youtube videos look like. >U<

Then I tried to convert my clips to MP4. The frame rate stayed at 60 fps, and even the quality set to 500 kbps looked neat. ^^

You see which game that is? It's a Playstation game lol. owob

I'm sorry if the video starts too slow, but wait a while, it WILL play.
I hope there's some code I can write or something to make it pre-load the movie instead of waiting. o.o;

Anyway, I'm gonna use this streaming video player for all kinds of guidance, you know, like walkthroughs and boss fights. ^.^ And now that I can play Playstation games in 60 fps (thanks TAS community owo), look forward to some MM Legends too. :3 I'm working on adding PSP clips too, especially for MMPU and MHX cutscenes, boss fights and Challenge Mode. ^^

You like this idea? And you like the quality of the video?

It's a great idea! And after the Video FINALLY loaded for me I saw that the quality is actually pretty damn good! The only downside I saw was the loading time. Grat idea Vix!

Do we provide walkthroughs and FAQs as well? Otherwise it seems kind of excessive for our kind of site..

FAQs sounds good. A text+image guide will be typed next to the video, or there will be a link to the video that you can click. That might cause less stress on the loading. I'll think of a way to make less loading on the page. o.o;

I'd be willing to provide some FAQ videos, if you'd like.

Quality is awesome. Vixy, you ROCK, man. pun intended.

...When Larry the reploid accountant goes maverick of his own accord, he's certainly formidable during tax season, but he isn't going to provide X the challenge needed to make him grow as a warrior and reach his potential.

The only downside I saw was the loading time.

I used a tool called MP4box, and now the movie will stream right away, no more waiting~ >U<

Hey Vixy, if you tell me the tools that you use during recordings. I may start recording fangame videos for Rockman PM. I may not be a top-notch player but I want to be use to the community.

Absolutely amazing idea. Converting the clip in to mp4 format is a good idea. Well if you can get over the problem of slow loading well you have a winner there. Could you share the codes here?

On a completely unrelated note, when did we get embedding? Like this:

The JW Player embed on the forum? Wow I wish I knew how.
I don't know the code for loading a video clip (yet), but I can embed the player at least. >U<
