Digital Video

Digital media will be key in launching "basketball central". There are numerous benefits digital media will add to the creation of my website. Game highlights can be uploaded onto the site as well as photos, game schedules and other relative information. However, not every computer will allow me to use these programs. In order for me to post videos like these on my website I will have to use progressive downloading. 
In the starting of the website I feel that progressive downloading will be the most beneficial because of the cost. It is relatively cheap and easy to use which will be helpful in the beginning. Also, since I am looking to put a lot of information including video and text I will need a lot of memory on my computer. My memory cache must be up to speed to make sure that video downloads will not take an extended period of time.
While progressive downloading is what I will most likely start with I do plan to incorporate streaming into teh website. During big games across the nation that may not be televised nationally fans can tune into "basketball central" to watch and follow the games. This will be a huge addition to the website because I do not think there is no popular website that does this already.

  1. Digital video and sports always go together. Everyone always wants to see replalys, and their favorite players interview. It would definitely bring more potential to the idea.

  2. Video would definitely be very beneficial, but it could prove difficult with all the rights and so forth. Would you consider doing a virtual gamecasts?
