How to add Streaming Video to your Website



Adding streaming audio and video to a website can be a tricky and time-consuming task, yet, it has never been so easy...
With the event of Web 2.0 putting streaming audio or even better, streaming video to a website has almost evolved to be a must have for internet marketers and even affiliate marketers alike.
The reason is simple. Especially having some streaming web vidoes on a website means an increase in customer trust and helps to build a personal link in between you, your online business and your potential customers.
Video on a website is something interesting and something that will make you look much more reputable. The drawback so far had only been: how do you put streaming video onto your site. At this time it had been a task for savy web code programmers or professional website designer to implement videos into a website.
Not any more.
With the release of Intellimon's latest version of their website editor XsitePro, adding a streaming video to a website has become as fast and easy as clicking 3 times the button of your mouse. And really, astonishing but true, thats all you need to do.
Sounds too good to be true and so we've put the new XsitePro in it's latest Version 2 to the test. We created a new website, adopted one of the XsitePro Templates to it, raised 3 web pages in it to have some content and had it up and running within a view minutes.
Then we started to do, what used to be hard work with other website editor software. According to the instructions given by the xSitePro software, we performed a right-hand mouse click at the place, we wanted to add the video. A context menue opened and we selected "Add Video".
The rest was just as simple. The software asked as to tell the location of the video on the hard drive, imported it automatically, we could then select the size and quality and even the format the video should play with. XsitePro then automatically converted the video into the best web format chosen, without us having to lift another finger and without any extra video converter software to be used.
We've been astonished. Within less than 3 minutes our video was live. All we had to do was uploading the new files to the web server, which was just as easy as it requests only to push one button and the FTP wizard implemented in XSitePro did it all for us. It was so easy, even my 8 year old daughter (not to speak from my grandmother) could do it.
In closing, XSitePro seems to offer the most fast and easy method to add streaming audio and streaming video to any website. The process is fast and easy, yet leaves all settings and options available for us to have the video formated and sized in just the way we like and prefer. Even the video conversion to the requested size and format was done automatically.
