Since these files are huge, you can't realistically view them from the links on the webserver. Since I am not a video guy, I was wondering if there was a better method to provide these videos from our webserver. Is streaming video the way to go? Or some variation of what I have tried ? I know it can be done as I view video from websites all the time. Thanks for any ideas , Darryl
