Video File Types

You can upload the following file types: .wmv, .avi, .mov, .mp3, and .flv.

If you're uploading video, it should be 320×240 pixels. This is the standard size for podcasting, and is also a good size for online viewing.

IMPORTANT: If you upload any other size, we make no guarantees that it will work properly. (Although we have 16:9 aspect ratio capability in development.)

ML can perform various files conversions for you automatically. We're trying to make this easy! The best option for online viewing is Flash video, and ML can convert your .avi or .mov into this format for you.

How It Works

MissingLink makes it easy for you to distribute audio and video from your event.

This is a per-event package, with an additional charge of $49 per A/V enabled event per month. This package comes with both new functionality and additional storage and data tranfer.

Here are the details:

1. A new "Audio/Video" section will be added to each of your sessions and breakouts to which you can upload media. (As with the other sections, if there is no content the event participants do not see the section label.)
2. Podcasting requires Quicktime (.mov) files, and ML can convert your .avi file to a Quicktime if you want to podcast. The uploader will give you the appropriate choices based on the file type you are uploading.
3. The Audio/Video section will present two links: one for online viewing and one for podcasting (if you choose the podcasting option). Clicking on the podcast link will automatically open iTunes and begin the download process. (No need to copy and paste a link!) Clicking on the file name will open the media in pop up window for online viewing.

There are different podcast links for different pieces of your event, giving people flexible choices about what to listen to or watch:

• A "master" podcast which contains all of the media you upload for the entire event.
• A per-session podcast which contains all of the media you upload for the session, including any breakouts.
• A per-breakout podcast which contains all of the media you upload for the breakout.

Additional storage: An additional 1000 MB (1 GB) of both storage and data transfer are added to your account for each A/V enabled event.

When you activate A/V on an event: a pro-rated charge (to cover the current billing cycle – since we bill in advance) is added to your next invoice.

When you disable A/V on an event: the files are all deleted. You will not be billed for the package again, but there are no refunds for any unused time in your current billing cycle.
