Alright! A video section. CNO, how about an FAQ on top of the thread (seem's like we always have to ask on new forum).

I would make a suggestion that we keep things in check, competing software companiies had a heyday on the Mac and Standalone forums, both always claiming they alone had the solution to someone's problem).

Anyway,

I'm looking for opinions, and I preface this string by saying I''ve read every thread here regarding this issue - so yes, I know what Wild Form Flix is - and I'm already considering using it.

That said, I respectfully request your opinion on this subject - unless you work for a software company that sells a Flash video solutions. (No offense Jonathan - but I'm looking for the opinion's of those who have used your software).

If you've used MX, Sorenson Spark Pro and Flix - please share your experience.

I'm building an MX interface, have a dozen different video clips (no voice sync, 1 to 10 meg's each) and seem to have three options.

1. Use QuickTime pop-ups (I don't care much for JS pop-ups and it means two plugins to see the content)

2. Use Streaming loadMovieNum() in MX (hard to preload when using Sorenson .swf's alone, but I'd like the client to be able to create their own .swf's)

3. Using Flix (Not sure, everything I've read about it here and at were-here is from the company's board surfer - who does give good advice on many subjects).

If you've used any or all of these methods I'd love to hear what comprimises you've come across, or any method for controlling the preload of a _root.level loaded movie. I'm just about to finish up my current project, but have yet to decide on the delivery method for the video - although I have experimented with all and can easily impliment any of them.

Thanks,
