Our group thought about delivering our video online or distribute it as a DVD.
We considered, putting our content online because students obtain most of their data that relates to uni through online university institution or communal websites and even youtube. So putting our content online will reach a wider range of students.
I was reading an article called "the seamless video experience: how it is possible" and this article outlined important considerations for publishers when delivering online video content, and these are the kind of things our group needs to consider before releasing our content online.
Automatic bandwidth checking
Before delivering the online video content, it is important for the service provider to detect the bandwidth of an individual user. This ensures that a user will have an optimal viewing experience with no hesitation of video content because the file being streamed is too large for the bandwidth.
Auto pausing of video
Provide users with the ability to auto pause streaming videos as soon as another area is clicked. It often frustrates users as they view an online video and a click on a link will open up a pop up which will overlay the current video that is continuously playing.
Fail safe delivery option
It is always safe to have at least two content delivery networks, so in such circumstance that content delivery network A fails, there will be content delivery network B available. This ensures that users are provided with a service that has a high delivery and satisfaction rate.
Relevance
Content and relevance are the more important things to consider in delivering online video content. Most users rate a rewarding and quality experience a relevant one. Therefore it is important to ensure delivered video content is relevant. It is even suggested to go as far as understanding a users geographic location and timezone in order to deliver the most relevant content.
