QUESTION
------------------------------------------------------
Order Number 3939116784
We will have at most 50 people accessing our flv files at once. But these are big files converted from HD quality video. I notice at times the videos load very slow. We do not want to sacrifice size or quality. Should we upgrade our plan. If so, which plan?
These are examples of video thus far:

Thanks,

Hello
We would not recommend using Progressive Streaming for HD files
You need to look at the RTMP players in your code generator, or of course you can use any RTMP Streaming Server capable player
We have some free ones here that work outside of the generator
See examples here

Please also familiarize yourself with the difference and pros and cons of progessive versus server streaming

Streaming progressive means a portion has to load into persons computer before it plays
if the connection lags, so does the video playback
Streaming server connects directly to the file on the server, no cache or download or wait
Do please note, that if a user is on a slow DSL or cable connection due to account limits or network slow down then it will not matter the way a video is streaming
This is not a fault of players or streaming servers - a minimum speed connection of at least 200kbps is needed
Some low price dsl is also low speed, this you can research via google
So upgrading your account is not necessary
