WMV (Windows Media Video)
The file type we are using on this page is WMV. The WMV Format is a video format developed by Microsoft and is designed to handle all types of video content. The files can be highly compressed and can be delivered as a continuous flow of data. WMV files can be of any size and can be compressed to match many different bandwidths (connection speeds). The WMV format is a derivative of the MPEG-4 (Motion Picture Expert Group) format. However, it's more efficient than MPEG-4 in encoding video and, while similar to the ASF format (Microsoft's Advanced Streaming Format), it allows for decreased file size. Using WMV is an excellent way to get file sizes down to reasonable levels while retaining watchable quality.

What this mean is that, by using the latest technology, it is now possible to create online movies that are fast to download and still of high enough quality to be viewable. Before recently, online movies were so massive in size and so slow to download that it took too much time for the average user to view it. As time goes on and technology advances, online videos will become commonplace on a web site. At Success Makers, we can produce your video for you and incorporate it into your web site, using methods that make it possible for the average user to enjoy the experience.
