The h264 encoder can produce a higher quality video at a lower bitrate, saving you bandwidth costs. We encode all videos at 512kbps.

Load balancing server is capable of running simultaneously in an array of replicated servers to handle any volume of videos from our users.

//$alt = preg_match_all('/(width|height)=("[^"]*")/i', $embed, $matches);

$embed = preg_replace('/(width)=("[^"]*")/i', 'width="200"', $embed);

This is the javascript function used for tracking javascript events as in alert(). This may be replacement of alert() to better track the javascript events and error/success messages.

/*
Below is the function where to call console()
*/
window.document.onclick = function(){ console(window.event.target.onclick) };

function console(msg)
{

mywin = window.open('', 'console', 'width=500,height=150,left=800,top=800,scrollbars=yes,location=no');

if (mywin && msg!=null)
mywin.focus();

mywin.document.title='Javascript Console...';

if(msg!=null)
mywin.document.writeln('<div style="font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size:12px; border-bottom: 1px dotted #FFB64A; padding:4px;">'+msg+'</div>');
