Hi Gang,

I'm a newbie to the digital video thing. I'm a web designer and I just got a project to stream video. My client gave me the video, I got it into a digital format (.wmv) and then converted it into an MPEG. I have Adobe Premiere, but I don't really know what to do from here.

When I play the video through RealONE it looks fine, I believe it's 640x480 resolution. When I import it into Premiere, load it onto the timeline and play it - it is unbearingly choppy.

So I'm wondering if I don't have the right computer specs or is there something I didn't do.

Dell Inspiron 4100 | PIII 866Mhz | 327MB SD-RAM | 20GB hdd.

I would really like some guide as to "how to do a simple video project" or something. Thanks for any help.

I'm not an expert so take this with a grain of salt.

1) I don't understand why you captured it into Windows Media first and then converted to MPEG. Quality-wise MPEG beats the pants off of WMV, and conversion always lessens the quality, even if when done right it is not necessarily noticeable.

2) If you want to stream it, MPEG is not your friend. You can stream WMV or RealMedia, I'd go with one that is supported by the server. The server in question has to have streaming enabled. Otherwise it is just downloading the file off a server byte by byte, which isn't streaming.
