Bonaire Video Portal Frequently Asked Questions

Okay, this is new and no one has asked anything yet! I'm trying to anticipate...

What exactly is this?
Through the Brightcove service, Blennylips Bonaire can offer a place for you to upload and share your Bonaire related videos.
What is the catch?
None, really. The service is free to you. Brightcove will host the potentially very large video files in return for occasionally placing relevant ads after the video. And yes, Blennylips Bonaire gets a share of this advertising revenue that I will use to offset the cost of running this service.
What video formats are accepted?
  • 3GP
  • AVI
  • DV
  • H.264
  • MPEG2
  • MPEG4
  • MOV (QuickTime)
  • WMV (Windows Media)
  • FLV (Flash 8)
Maximum video file size is 100MB. Once uploaded, Brightcove converts your video to Flash 8 (FLV) format. The converted video will be 480 pixels wide by 360 pixels high and have a total bit rate (video + audio) of 500 kbps (kilo-bytes per second). So, the closer your uploaded video is to these numbers, the better the conversion to flash will be.
