Quicktime streaming using iweb & .mac account?

[freeny]

Not sure if this is a "Digital Video" or a "Web Development" question but here goes...

I am looking to stream videos hosted on my .mac account and published via iWeb. Can you do this? and if so how? any on line tutorials? looking for an easily understandable step-by-step method.

Thanks in advance

You want to do streaming? As in, you want a bunch of people to be able to view your video efficiently in close to realtime?

pay particular attention to the hinting page as well:

I believe this requires an actual streaming media server to serve your video to get any benefit from the advanced hinting options. I have no idea whether .Mac supports this, though I imagine it might since they do support video podcast subscription on your iWeb site, don't they?

Perhaps that question is better posed to the web forum.

Good luck!
