Hi, I am looking for some help regarding 3 tutorial videos I'm putting on my server for download by customers. They total under 700 mb (35mins, 1hr, & 1hr 20)I've reduced them as far as I can without losing resolution. Can anyone advise as to what my best course is, zip all three individually, zip as a combined folder, I also have Easy Viseo Player2. Thanks for any help
James

    Zip all the files together so they'll all be in one file when people downlaod it versus having to download three separate zip folders.

    Since they're only three files, and they're a pretty big size combined, I'd actually offer them as three downloads on the one download page.

    Remember there's still a lot of people using slower connections, dial-up internet, and also people who live in areas where the internet isn't as stable (drop outs, etc.).

    Three downloads is an easy number, so I'd personally go for seperate links.

    cheers

    I agree -- three separate downloads is probably best.

    If the internet connection crashes and you're downloading a 700 MB file, you go, "ARRRGH."

    If the internet connection crashes and you're downloading a 200 MB file, you don't lose as much time and happiness. :p

    Agreed... if you are offering downloads, then do three separate ones, NOT one bigger one.

    Consider splitting the larger videos into a part one and part two for example, then there's a couple more downloads but they are smaller.

    You could also just make them online only (provided that fits your market) using your Easy Video Player.

    All success,

    Thanks for all the advice guys. I have an amazon s3 account also and just signed up for cloudfront serving.I've heard this will be quicker It'll cost $ if I push so much traffic, but then again the $ will be there to pay for it.
    Thanks again
