Streaming media refers to the method of transmitting audio and video on the web. First Crescent has been perfecting new media production and web delivered streaming audio and video since its inception in 1997.
We constantly strive to seek the perfect balance between small file size and quality audio and video. In order for the streaming media to be viewed or heard by the end user, the files must be presented in a common format to ensure maximum compatibility.
Common file formats for video include .mov, .avi, and .mp4, while common audio formats include .mp3, .wav, and .aac.
Although many users now have broadband internet, it is often still wise to take slower dialup connections into consideration when presenting steaming media on your site.
For ways in which you can maximize compatibility and quality while minimizing file size and download time, call First Cresent at (805) 963-9393 or email for more information.
