Once you experience the difference you’ll never go back!
- Non-proprietory encoding: Many popular video editors (Final Cut Pro, Adobe Premiere, etc..) or encoders (Riva FLV Encoder, Sorenson Squeeze, TMPGenc, etc..) can encode videos into Streamlike™ compatible files. Accepted formats are FLVs and MP4s using the H264 codec (.mov, .mp4 or .f4v). Even more packages let you encode your audios to the MP3 format.
- Simplified publishing: Streamlike™ includes an online publishing tool for file upload and secure code generation.
- Unparelled security: Streamlike™ media cannot be downloaded, cached or played from any location other than the authorized websites.
- Optimal bandwidth usage: Broadcasters won’t pay for materials that would be preloaded but not watched; Streamlike™ protects bandwidth theft by a remote referencing restriction.
- Ability to easily index media for creating chapter lists or associating multimedia contents.
- Extensive reporting: Variety of tools to analyze, in detail, audience usage in real time on a second-by-second basis. The online multimedia interface with graphs shows how many times each second of your program was played.
- Easy customization: Configure the player to suit your graphic environment.
- Low cost servers: ISPs and hosting services can easily set up Streamlike™ platforms on non-specialized servers. The TCO (hardware and software) is less than other less advanced streaming solutions.
Your audience will thank you for making the switch to Streamlike™.
- Ubiquity: Streamlike™ plays video and audio on any system (PC, Mac, Linux..), through any browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari) without the need to install additional software. Streamlike™ only needs Flash.
- Optimal viewing experience: Streamlike™ automatically selects the best video for the measured bandwidth with the guarantee that the flow won't stop.
- User friendly: Audio and Video start without "buffering" delay for unmatched ease of browsing through media of any size or duration. It is much faster to reach a particular point in Streamlike™ media than on traditionally streamed media or even offline media (CDs, DVDs…).
- Smart resource management: Streamlike™ sends media at their encoding bit rate while they play: no more, no less. In other words, Streamlike™ only sends what is needed to display the video at the current position in the timeline while other non-streaming methods take up all the available bandwidth and preload as much material as possible regardless of how much will actually be viewed..
