			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left;">Looking to add FLV videos to your posts and pages in WordPress but tired of the hassle? Yeah, me too! Well, this plugin solved my problems and made it a breeze to insert FLV files into any of my WordPress pages, posts and widgets!</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span id="more-239"></span>There&#8217;s a lot of great plugins out there but I wasn&#8217;t able to find any that truly made inserting FLV files a snap. Most wanted to concentrate solely on YouTube videos. I needed something that worked on any FLV file I needed to include into an area of my client&#8217;s WordPress blog.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">This program absolutely did the trick. It was a 10 second install (just upload and activate the plugin) and had custom configurations via the admin.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Now I create my FLV file, upload and insert in a matter of minutes without fumbling with the WYSIWYG editor in WordPress and get great results.</p>
<p><img style="margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px; vertical-align: middle;" title="FLV WordPress Plugin" src="http://www.simcomedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/fulldetails.png" alt="FLV Video Plugin For WordPress" width="200" height="45" /> <a title="FLV WordPress Plugin" href="http://www.templateresources.com/recommends/plugin" target="_blank">FLV Plugin</a></p>

<h3>Flash Video 101</h3>
<p style="text-align: left;">Flash video is a format of video that delivers high quality images, smoothly and quickly.<br />
 The video is compressed or converted to a FLV file, which then can be played almost instantly.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Since the arrival of tube video, web viewers have been demanding video as a part of the web experience. YouTube reported that more than 5 billion videos had been viewed for the month of July 2008. This one example alone tells us there is an importance of a video presence being necessary on websites.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Remember the choppy, grainy streaming video of the late 1990’s? The slow downloading capabilities or viewing that began after a small portion of the file was buffered? That was a major frustration of watching video during that era.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Technology had a major break-through with FLASH (FLV) video. The contributing factor being that more people using high-speed Internet connections with higher-bandwidth. FLV format allows video to load and start quickly because of the compressed video images and speed of broadband.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Flash video has the capabilities to run on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux platforms, meaning it can be viewed by 98% of all Internet-connected computers. Since most computers have a pre-installed Flash Player, the need for downloading additional plug-ins and software to view the videos is eliminated.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Here lies the problem: getting your video into FLV format and uploading to your website.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">It can be as simple as a 3 step process from start to finish.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Prepare and save your video in avi., mpg., or wvm. format, 1) Locate, meaning where you saved your file on your computer, 2) Convert the video to FLV format and 3) Produce or upload the video to your website. In each step, there are several options that you can pick from. A good program will guide you through this process.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Flash video provides a viewing experience for your website that is seamless, as opposed to a pop-up, or pop-over window, that interrupts the flow of your message.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here&#8217;s another great program I came across that utilizes the ease of using a simple way of creating multi-video playslists. There are literally a dozen ways this saves time, space and $$$&#8217;s for a web developer or for anyone who handles FLV files regularly.<span id="more-236"></span>The playlists display your videos one at a time and allows the viewer to select which video they want played next which then replaces the one they were viewing in the current player. This may not sound like anything amazing but say you have 10-20 videos in a series. Instead of having a separate page for them or putting all 20 on a page you could easily create the playlist so the viewer can see all the videos in one location and select them in the order they wish to play them.</p>
<p>To me this is a no-brainer. Especially if you&#8217;re trying to embed a dozen or so large dimension videos into a page. This way it can be inserted into a page and allow the visitor to stay on that page for their duration.</p>
<p>You can check it out here:<a title="Media Producer" href="http://www.templateresources.com/recommends/mmp" target="_blank"> Media Producer</a></p>
<p>Enjoy!</p>

Without Any Programming Whatsoever?]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Finally, You Can Quickly and Easily Publish Full-Motion Streaming Videos From Your Website In Just 3 Simple Steps&#8230;<br />
<strong><span style="font-size: medium;">Without Any Programming Whatsoever?</span></strong><br />
<span id="more-231"></span></p>
<ol>
<li>Enter the location of any video on your hard drive.</li>
<li>Click a button to convert them in web format.</li>
<li>Click again to produce the resulting web page.</li>
</ol>
<p>And that&#8217;s it! It even generates the necessary HTML code for you to copy and paste. This system also comes with multiple Flash players for you to select from for the final output!</p>
<p>If you ever wanted to add video to your website but felt intimidated by working with multimedia&#8230;<br />
<strong>Finally a Simple to use software that does it all in just minutes</strong>!</p>
<p>I use it for creating all customer videos. Here&#8217;s what I have found extremely useful:</p>
<ul>
<li>I can use a program like Any Video Converter to do the initial conversion from various formats into an FLV format at high quality</li>
<li>This program will take the existing FLV file and &#8216;wrap&#8217; it inside of one of many player types you select from a list</li>
<li>It also generates both the HTML, which you can copy/paste into your page, as well as an actual .html page which you can name whatever you wish (I name it after the video for reference purposes)</li>
<li>The videos can then be used embedded into a page or perhaps a popup or even in a Lightbox environment</li>
</ul>
<p>The price is definitely worthwhile since it&#8217;s uses are extensive. Check it out here:</p>
