This is sample of things you can do with Video Desk:
You can add media from Video Desk to pages that are hosted anywhere. Because all
media files are stored and served from our servers, they add no load to the server
that hosts your webpages.
|
Embed video and audio on your web site
|
|
When you embed media, the player becomes part of the page, blending in with your
own web content. You can embed either audio or video files. Here is an example of
embedded Flash Video (FLV) files.

Put Buttons on your webpages to play Media
|
When the user clicks a media button, the streaming media player opens in its own
window. You can choose either to have the video play in the web browser, or in the
default media player on the viewer's system. If you choose to use the web browser,
the code will open a special viewing window. These buttons show you how it works:
 Opens in a web
browser window
 Opens in the
default media player

Make Professional Playlists
|
A playlist is just what it sounds like, a list of things to be played. You can easily
create playlists in Video Desk, and create a single button that will play the entire
list. This can be useful for anything from a movie that is stored in chapters, to
letting someone play all the songs on an album.
You can choose whether to have the playlist open in the web browser, or in a separate
player window.
For examples, click on these buttons.

You can use your own graphics for playlist buttons, too.

Password protect your video files
|
You can require your audience to know a password to watch your files. Whether you
want to keep certain videos private for your customers only, or just keep random
people from watching your home movies, it's easy. Click the button below to see
how this works. The password is "videodesk".
You can protect both individual files and entire playlists.
|
Create narration for your site using text-to-speech technology
|
|
Upload a document in DOC, DOCX, RTF, or TXT format, and Video Desk will automatically
convert it into a Flash audio file, which you can embed to add narration to your
site.
This audio file was created using text-to-speech.

No more filling up your friends' and customers' mailboxes with huge files! No more
overloading your mail server! Because the video file is stored on Video Desk, you
