    • do you have recommendations for tiki with video classes

    Posted by KaiiaK posts: 82 Norway

    Hi

    I teach and consult and will probably be setting up a tiki to teach video classes.

    I will want to provide very high videos quality.

    I have been looking at the Kaltura platform, is that overkill?

    I have tested MEDIAPLAYER and mp4 video files, it seems ok but not great (like no full screen) and sometimes it seems like it hangs and the user needs to restart the browser??

    Will that work? or will I get reliability problems, like people unable to play videos problems etc.?

    Any other suggestions?

    Is this the type of capability you want?

    The website video player is the free version of "Flowplayer". Techsmith's Camtasia Studio was used to create the video recordings. Quality can be as good as the original video you provide (better quality = higher bandwidth, larger file sizes). Full screen display is included.

    oh - one other comment: I selected Flowplayer because it supports streaming video... meaning that the video starts playing as soon as its buffer fills with enough content. The opposite is the "complete file transfer then play" method {not sure what that is called} but for large multi-MB video files, it could be many minutes before the video shows on the user's browser. I consider that unacceptable.
