I’m considering making the videohosted directly on the server and using the HTML 5 option. What are the downsides to this? Will the slider revolution system literally have to download the entire video each time to the user’s machine?
Hello @spencey,
Thanks for writing in! Whether the video is hosted from 3rd party sites like Youtube, Vimeo or hosted in your server, the user’s browser will have to buffer the video before playing. It is not necessary downloaded to the user. It will just be played in the browser which needs to be buffered first.
If you use html5 video, every time the video is played, your server resources will be used. Unlike if you hosted the video in Youtube/Vimeo, your server will only use small resources like bandwidth, space, etc.
Hope this helps.
