If a music video from UTube is embedded (like it is with most of our videos here) as opposed to just a link to the UTube video ..... is an embedded video slowing the site down ... or not??

  • This will depend on your members, if they have slow internet speed. Dialup members it will be useless to watch videos, but most people have high speed.

    Some tips.

    Create a separate video page & use categories, instead of dumping all videos together. For example, Classic Rock. Jazz. Dance Music and so on.

    Add a "search video" that Spruz provided on this page.

    Embed video size, no higher than 640, or 560, 480. If the videos are just a still picture use lower size. Remember larger videos size slow down a page.

    Also under your main video page, add new 2 pages, one for "recent videos" & another for "featured video". You can use 20, 40, 50 videos on these pages.

    Example.

    VIDEOS (Main page Categories + Search videos)
    - Featured videos (2nd page, add 20. 40. 50 videos to display)
    - Recent videos (3rd page, add 20. 40. 50 videos to display)

  • Try some of these videos, http://www.antigravity.spruz.com/videos.htm,  , and see if they slow you down. The vids stream directly from Youtube, Vevo, or whomever is the host, and do not use Spruz bandwidth. Most of the vids we put on our sites are 1235px wide, the maximum practical for a Spruz page.
