OnlineVideo Limitations
As good as this service is, there are limits of which you must be aware. Have a backup plan for the situations below. The easiest solution is to send the DVDs as you have been.
Spam filters
Spam has destroyed the ease with which we communicate by email. It is possible that your email will get caught in their spam filters. We have done our best to be sure our mail server is "white listed" to get past most filters.
Computer required
There are still people who do not have computers and will not be able to use this on-line option. For them, you may still deliver the physical DVD versions of many of these videos.
Internet and bandwidth limits
Of course, your prospect will need a computer and internet connection. Our video is a higher resolution that requires higher bandwidth. It is possible that prospects still on dial-up or slow connections will have difficulty viewing.
Corporate firewalls
Most large corporations have firewalls that prevent viewing video. Ours run in a software called Flash with is denied by some of these firewalls. They will have to watch this on their home computers.
Technical difficulties
There may be some people who don't have the latest version of video software like QuickTime, Flash or Windows Media Player and may need to upgrade.
