| 15:20.08 | jgiboney | Good Morning Everyone! |
| 15:22.04 | jgiboney | Anyone know why my quicktime movies don't display correctly in IE? |
| 15:26.16 | jgiboney | And, is there a better way to display movies on the web? |
| 15:31.23 | RedHeron | I've been watching flashplayer movies in Linux, so there doesn't seem to be any great issue with those. |
| 15:31.35 | RedHeron | Except making them. |
| 15:31.54 | jgiboney | does quick time work on linux? |
| 15:32.08 | RedHeron | Marginally, but it does take some finagling. |
| 15:32.44 | RedHeron | WMV files seem to play okay, as to MPG movies. |
| 15:32.49 | RedHeron | AVI's are flawless. |
| 15:33.11 | RedHeron | MP4's aren't well-supported yet. |
| 15:33.44 | jgiboney | i need something that will work on all platforms, and probably something that is not downloadable |
| 15:33.50 | RedHeron | But for embedding in a page, very little beats FlashPlayer (it's what YouTube uses). |
| 15:34.14 | RedHeron | FlashPlayer's the way to go. |
| 15:34.29 | RedHeron | Very difficult to copy if embedded properly. |
| 15:34.55 | jgiboney | okay then, are there any free flashplayer creators for windows? |
| 15:35.09 | RedHeron | Unfortunately, not that I'm aware of. |
| 15:35.19 | jgiboney | thanks |
| 15:35.42 | jgiboney | oh well flex isn't that expensive i guess |
| 15:35.48 | RedHeron | Sorry, wish I could be of better assistance on that. |
| 15:36.11 | jgiboney | that's okay |
| 15:36.56 | RedHeron | FWIW, there is a PHP script out there that does encode to flash animation, as part of the XAMPP main package. |
| 15:37.09 | RedHeron | I think it also uses JS |
| 15:37.32 | jgiboney | hmmm... interesting |
| 15:37.52 | RedHeron | It's FOSS, so check it out. |
| 15:37.56 | jgiboney | i think that my client wants to be able to use pause and rewind commands |
| 15:38.10 | jgiboney | do you know if it does those? |
| 15:38.35 | RedHeron | I don't... but I'm sure if you knew the ActionScript commands to give, it could work. |
| 15:38.54 | jgiboney | =) thanks |

| 17:29.36 | wps | jgiboney: flash video is the best solution |
| 17:29.48 | wps | there are several free, pre-built players if you don't want to build your own |
| 17:31.28 | wps | the flash plugin has about a 98% install penetration so you are nearly guaranteed that you audience will be able to view the content without any difficulties or required installations |
| 17:31.59 | wps | here is one of the best pre-built players: http://www.jeroenwijering.com/?item=JW_FLV_Player |
| 17:32.12 | wps | it literally is a drop-in solution |
| 17:32.29 | wps | you put the player on your server, toss up a FLV video file and point the player at it |
| 17:32.39 | wps | and it is very configurable |
| 17:40.37 | jgiboney | thank you wps |

| 17:46.39 | wps | you're welcome |
| 18:14.38 | jgiboney | Anyone know how to automate credit card processing? |
| 18:17.23 | fungus | In general you need to contact your merchant account provider, to ask which "payment gateway(s)" they support. A payment gateway is a service/organization that provides an API for you to connect to to process credit card transactions. |
| 18:17.46 | fungus | Each payment gateway provides very different types of APIs |
| 18:18.07 | jgiboney | okay, so what about paypal or google? |
| 18:18.07 | fungus | AuthorizeNET is a very good, and easy one to implement. |
| 18:32.34 | fungus | Not sure about those, I haven't ever implemented those. But, IIRC, they have their own APIs you can use. |
| 19:12.07 | RedHeron | PayPal isn't hard, but I'd recommend their Sandbox for any API programming. Though not difficult, it is time-consuming and goofy if you're not used to it. |
| 19:52.32 | jgiboney | Are there any really good mid-level accounting applications that are free? |
| 19:53.04 | burnin | gnucash |
| 19:53.18 | burnin | http://www.gnucash.org/ |
| 19:54.14 | burnin | sql ledger looks interesting as well, but I've only tried the demo. |
| 19:54.19 | burnin | http://www.sql-ledger.org/ |
| 20:04.12 | jgiboney | thank you |
| 20:15.48 | herlo | sql ledger is more difficult to set up |
| 20:15.57 | herlo | but it seems pretty nice |
