General Information on Videos

If you want to post a video you can easily do that, but for the time being we only accept videos in .FLV format.

Here are some general guidelines for creating videos that are compatible with our service.

• Dimensions - we have one size for the videos which is: width: 945px by height: 700px. So when you create your videos, it will be best to use these dimensions.
• Format - .flv - there are many video creation applications available and most of them are able to make videos in this format. We hope to provide a variety of formats in the near future, but for now, this is the format required.
• Running Time - any length videos should be fine, but keep in mind that you might lose your audience with overly long videos.
• Zip up the files - this format requires that a .FLV and a .SWF file be used to present the video. You will need to zip them up and upload the zip file. We can uncompress .zip, .gzip, .bzip2, and .tar files. We hope to offer more compressed types in the future.

Content Delivery Network (CDN) - after you upload your video to our servers, it will automatically and asynchronously be pushed to our CDN so depending on the size of the files being uploaded, it could take several minutes to part of an hour to push the files. So keep that in mind before you publish your video.
