Information about Video Assets

TAG® videos are in MP4 (H.264/AAC) or WMV format.

Most videos in TAG® are between 6-90 MB. There are some as large as 350 MB. Minimum bandwidth recommended is DSL/Cable/TI 1.5 Mbps connection¹.

Streaming

Streaming video for previewing during peak Internet times might result in occasional buffering. Examples of typical buffering issues:

• buttons will not be functional until a partial stream is established
• video might pause until the stream bandwidth is re-established

Downloading

Downloading video speeds vary based on connections and Internet traffic. Generally, downloading video is less impacted (from a user experience) during peak Internet usage than video streaming.

 

¹ Anything less than recommended bandwidth (e.g. ISDN 128 kbps) will make very slow streaming and downloading.
