Horizon Cybermedia is pleased to make a couple of important announcements—particularly significant to the continual growth of our company.
The first announcement is that Horizon Cybermedia has officially submitted an entry to the Beverly Hills HiDef Film Festival. We have submitted the film The Elephanta Caves—the first episode in our ongoing film series, Exploration with Uday Gunjikar—as a short film entitled Exploring Elephanta, in a slightly re-edited version. Stay tuned for further announcements as and when they become available!
The second major announcement we would like to make is concerning the the Flash video versions of the film Exploration with Uday Gunjikar: The Elephanta Caves that are currently available to view online at the website http://www.explorationtheseries.com.
After fielding some complaints that the films were taking too long to download, we have taken quick and decisive action to resolve this problem. Firstly, we'd like to explain that the reason for the slow download speeds was the large size and high bitrates of the Flash video files that we had put online. This film was filmed entirely in high definition, and it was our intention to distribute the highest quality video files that we could. We even made three versions of the film available—three sizes to accommodate varying broadband connection speeds. However, it became pretty apparent that even so, the video files needed to be adjusted to improve download speeds.
As a result, we have made a new set of Flash video files available on our website with dramatically smaller file sizes and smaller bitrates. As a result, the download speeds are dramatically faster. Furthermore, the film will automatically begin playback once it is about 10% downloaded, continuing to download as you proceed to watch. With a built-in 3 minute video buffer, and assuming that you have chosen the appropriate video size to correspond with your broadband connection speed, you should have no trouble watching the film in its entirety without any interruptions.
The caveat to these improved download speeds is that we have had to compromise on the resolution and quality of the video files. However, we are continuing to research this problem and, hopefully, we should soon have versions of the film on our website with optimal resolution and file size to ensure maximum download speed combined with maximum video quality.
Meanwhile, here's hoping you continue to enjoy the film at http://www.explorationtheseries.com and stay tuned for the next films in our ongoing series, Exploration with Uday Gunjikar.
Wishing you the very best,
Uday Gunjikar,
Founder and CEO,
Horizon Cybermedia, Inc.
