Re: Anyone deliver on USB Drives?
 

Hi Guys

I think that sticking with a FAT32 is probably safer in the long run. I don't have the 4GB limit as my weddings are done in individual clips anyway so each MP4 clip would be under the limit anyway.

I just feel (whether they are watching a DVD or a bunch of MP4's) that providing a bunch of sequential clips gives the viewer a break ..I personally would hate to have to sit through 100 minutes of wedding video but being able to watch nothing longer than 15 odd minutes is a lot easier on your system as when you watch the next clip your brain "resets" as each clip has a short title....when you watch TV the same applies too..the commercials break up the monotony of continuous video.

If they watch the USB on a computer they would be presented with a list of files that are intelligently named (and as Nigel pointed out, call them 01 Groom Prep and 02 Bride Prep so they are in sequence too) I just think that would be a more "friendly" approach to the bride and she can also show her friends just part of the wedding.

The way I use Encore to export to the entire DVD authoring to a local / online Flash playback will detain the DVD viewing experience with menu navigation structure, subtitle, animated thumbnail, chapter mark.. stuff like that. It generates an index.html that the couple or any audience can view the entire wedding within a browser or go full screen. They can jump to any particular chapter. I think that works better than just copying and pasting individual clips. The encoding all break down at each chapter mark to an individual .f4v or .flv file. Thus, no worry going over the 4GB limit per clip.

The only down size is it won't play on an ipad.

Mac OS X has included read-only support for NTFS since 10.3 (Panther) back in 2003.

They might not play on the defaukt ioad video player, but imuse a diferent app for video, AVPLAYERHD, not tried flv on it. But it plays everything ive thrown at it (even high bit rate 1080p mp4)

Worth trying?

Encore exported FLV or F4V that played within a Flash player embeded within a browser. It's quite certain any computer browser have the Flash plug-in (except 64-bit browser and ipad).

It's all self contained and no need to have extra software to view the wedding video content with navigation structure.

Sorry but no. There is a vast difference between playing a single video file & supporting Flash.

Just got a sale having the Online Streaming / Computer playback on a free thumbdrive Add-on. It was for $300. I throw in $100 off if the customer sign up the wedding package right away. They budged. =)
