Advanced Topics Video Enhancements • Competitive Analysis • Guidelines • Secret Tags
Competitive Analysis Video Enhancements • Comparison summary to Klipmart & Pointroll
Competitive Analysis Video Enhancements Plug-in penetration rates • Main Advantages • Plug-in support • Eyeblaster supports WMV and FLV 8 which are higher quality video formats. Users with WMV or FLV 8 will get the better experience automatically. Users without these plug-ins will get FLV 7 which is installed on almost 100% of Internet users’ computers.
Competitive Analysis Video Enhancements • Main Advantages • Bandwidth optimization – Eyeblaster has four bandwidth levels compared with Klipmart’s two. KM Low KM High EB Low EB Medium EB High EB Best 100 kbps 300 kbps 500 kbps 750 kbps • Full screen – Eyeblaster can play both the regular ad and the full screen ad in FLV and WMV. Klipmart can play the regular ad in FLV and full screen in WMV. Users without WMV will not get the full screen!
Guidelines Video Enhancements • Bandwidth considerations when creating a video Ad • Interactive on-top layer/buttons on the video • Customizing and saving a skin • Customizing and saving the loading animation • Streaming with Looping • Streaming vs. Progressive Download • Campaigns running on Yahoo! • Window Ad – full screen • Buttons in full screen • On Movie End – Goto Frame
Secret Tags Video Enhancements • The following secret tags were added to the client side support • FSForceFLVtoWMV – true will force FLV in the small version and WMV in full page or full screen (assuming user has both plug-ins). Default is false. • FSWMVPreference – false will open WMV in full page (in browser with a Flash skin). True will open WMV in full screen (native WMP full screen). The default is false – open in full page. • FSContinue – controls if the movie should start from the beginning in full screen, or if it should continue from the same position. The default is to continue whenever possible (FLV streaming or WMV full screen). The reason this setting is in a secret tag is because in some cases it is not possible to control the behavior: FLV Progressive – can only start from the beginning. WMV full screen – can only continue.
