eSnips is in the process of converting all video files from their original format to flash video (FLV) This is being done for two reasons: • Flash video playback is supported on multiple platforms, unlike the other video formats. This allows more people to view your file without needing plug-ins and players. • Videos played back in flash load faster, and start playback sooner than the other formats. • FLV format is the standard and most popular format today for playing online videos. You can download a popular FLV player at: http://www.download.com/Riva-FLV-Player/3000-2194_4-10442977.html?
