In the beginning years of web video, you might encode Real, Windows Media, and Quicktime versions of your movie, in several sizes, so anyone visiting your site could watch, figuring everybody was bound to have at least one of those plugins.
Then a lot of people got cable modems and DSL which removed the need to provide tiny movies for dialup customers.
Flash then updated their nearly universal browser plugin to show FLV video content. Many developers migrated to Flash video, because posting one movie is easier than posting three. Flash seemed to have won, for the time being.
But then, the H.264 codec, also known as AVC, burst upon the scene, popularized by its support in Quicktime 7 starting in April 2005. It immediately blew everyone away with its amazing quality and low bitrate requirements, being able to present stunning quality HD video that started playing almost immediately (when encoded by an expert compressionist).
H.264 became the standard codec adopted by manufacturers for all kinds of devices – from camcorders from Canon and Panasonic to Apple iPods, iPhones, and Apple TVs, Sony PlayStations & PSPs, Archos TV, Microsoft Xbox 360s and Zune players, cell phones and many other devices.
Meanwhile, hundreds of millions of Windows computer owners were buying Apple iPods, which neccesitated downloading iTunes & Quicktime, so the Quicktime browser plugin was gaining ground very quickly on Windows computers (as well as being installed on 100% of Macs).
So then, there was once again a dilemma for internet video producers; stick with Flash with wider browser support; or go with Quicktime H.264 for better quality and device compatibility? Or both?
Finally, the momentous announcement came from Adobe in August of 2007 that the ubiquitous Flash plugin would support H.264 encoded video, and even provide special hardware acceleration to make fullscreen H.264 video play more smoothly. The confusion was over. H.264 had won the codec wars, perhaps forever.
After that, the race was on to come up with the best H.264 codec and encoder. For now at least, the clear winner is the x264 variation.

In the current economic environment as the recession hits harder, people will be turning more and more to the internet to find their purchases. Firstly they can look for the best deals and then purchase over the web without even having to leave their houses. This beats the hell out of having to drive miles, find parking space, queue for bargains and then carry the items home or wait for delivery of large products. If your company is still living in the dark ages, and you don’t have an online presence then you are offering the competition sales on a plate.
In order to stay competitive, businesses need to offer their services or products online, as well as doing business the traditional way. Ever since I’ve had my own home I have dreamed of owning a great big Maytag Refrigerator like the ones you see at www.maytagrefrigerator.net , so having turned 40 and got some cash behind me these days I decided to invest in one. I spent weeks reviewing all the models, their dimensions, features and prices, so I knew that when I ordered one it was exactly the right one for me.
In the end I bought it from an offline retailer (John Lewis, because it’s true they have never knowingly been undersold!) but I was able to research the best deals online before I went in and ordered it.
Businesses today need to communicate with potential customers who do business mostly online. Be smart and start today to get your company online and out in front, even if you do sell your products mainly offline.
In these modern times just having a well built website is no longer enough. Even if you are in a very specialist sector you will still have to market your website in order to take full advantage of the search community traffic.
Many businesses are going to the internet as a means of gaining more business particularly providers of specialist services such as our client who provides security access controls. Because of his move to promote his business online he now receives regular interest for his services through the whole of the UK.
When you manage an online business you potentially have a global audience, depending on your product or service. This means you need to have 24 hour customer access, due to the time differences around the globe. Automatic systems to respond to orders will be a vital part of the website design otherwise you will need staff available working unsociable hours. In this new world, the old ways of import/export will become obsolete.
When running an online company you need to be a Jack of all trades. But communication is an essential part of all the different aspects of running a business. Email and instant messaging are efficient ways of communicating with employees, particularly when different time zones are a complication. Setting up an online conference room will save the need for physical space and travelling and will provide a forum for members to air their views, concerns and challenges.
The website main page is the first thing visitors see when visiting your site. To make a good impression you will need a good brand image, clear information and a user friendly process so that customer will find it easy to purchase their goods. (Don’t make it hard for your customers to find their way around the system and buy products, no matter how clever something may be.)
A good web design agency with a track record of SEO Marketing can enable you to update your website whenever you want, so that any changes in pricing or items are current, and get your products in front of as many potential customers as possible by using the search engines.
Statistics reporting is another service which can give you valuable feedback on how many people are accessing the site, and from that information you can see if your services/goods are attracting the sales you want. If not then there is an opportunity to revamp your products or website to improve on conversion rates.
For customer satisfaction make sure your business provides good quality products, efficient service, and an easy to use system. Where items are good value for money, customers will be happy to recommend your company to friends and family and sales will increase.
The growth of the internet gives a whole new meaning to the world of commerce. Using ecommerce websites millions of people are out there starting new online businesses, all wanting a piece of the market, all wanting to make their millions. So make sure your business is one of the forerunners and get yourself up there on the first page on Google. Don’t wait, get started now before your competitors leave you behind. Five years from now you’ll be glad if you read this and took action.
