Online Videos - The New Web Craze - Video 2 Flash
Luis Aguirre
Online videos are bringing web traffic numbers to all time highs. Statistics show that having videos on your website can increase traffic and revenue by up to 300%. When adding web videos to any website, you must take into account 2 things...capturing the attention of the visitor and then enticing them to take action. If you are a marketer or just have your own personal web site and you want more traffic, chances are that having a video explaining something would greatly increase the chances of having a visitor stay longer than 7 seconds, which is the average amount of time it takes for someone to decide if they stay or leave a web site.
Many times when videos are added incorrectly they slow the website down tremendously and thus losing its consumer base. Finding the right combination of videos size and quality is key, without it you may loose some of your visitors because of the site slowing down..thus making them less likely to ever return. This is bad for business and bad for the users, what if they really wanted to see what was on the web site but the videos were loading too slow?
Most people when they think of web videos think of YouTube or Google video, but that need not be the case anymore. People can start to produce their own web videos with their own style, there are tons of programs out there that can do it, but I have personally used V2F for my sites and it seems to be working out pretty well. Time is money and the faster things load, the better chance you have of keeping a visitor on your site long enough to hear your product pitch or whatnot. Its a fact, flash videos load faster than any other movie format.
There are several different kinds of formats, mpeg, avi, divx, xvid etc etc. The most popular for the web is flash, it combines the fast loading capabilities of a small video (even if its a big one) with the great picture quality of an mpeg or avi. Big companies, small companies and individual users all need an effective way to post their favorite videos to the web for their family and friends to see. The program has the ability to do what 3 or even 4 other flash programs can do combined.
Bringing traffic to your site shouldn't be a life changing decision nor an expensive one. Converting your videos on your computer from one format to another (like flash) can make the video loose its quality in both sound and picture. But what if there was a way to KEEP the quality and STILL make the videos small enough to put on your web site? Well there is, Converting your videos to flash format is the easiest way to go, and by far the cheapest.
I have used a lot of other programs for to do my video converting and a lot of them just don't live up to the hype. They promise me quality, they promise me that my audio will be perfect...well it isn't always that way. Its very frustrating to spend 2 hours converting a file thinking its going to be perfect when you finish, and then only to find out that doesn't get the video or audio right. Do yourself a favor and do your research, many programs come with a trial period which is fantastic since you need to know how it performs before you spend your hard earned cash.
