A VideByte™ is a flash video prepared to make it easy for you to insert into your client's web site. You do not have to do anything to it - just insert it wherever your client wants is on their site. Make sure that the VideByte™ file is in the same folder as the page on which it is to be displayed.

VideBytes™ come in 2 sizes:

• Standard Size - best displayed at 320x240
• Large Size - best displayed at 480x360 or 640x480

Each size VideByte™ has 2 versions:

• Click-to-Play - always use this unless there is a special reason not to use it
• Automatic Play - use this on a special destination page for VideByte™ emails, etc. See below.

Always use a Click-to-Play version unless there is a special reason to use the Automatic Play.

Where you would use an Automatic Play VideByte™

In that people can easily get annoyed when a video starts playing automatically on a web page, it is generally best to use it only on a special destination page.

Examples of special destination pages:

• A hyperlink is included in a email - "Click to see video," etc.
  See How to send a VideByte™ email for ideas.
• A hyperlink from another web page "See video," etc.

A good rule of thumb for using Automatic Play VideBytes™ Only use Automatic Play VideBytes™ on web pages where people expect to see a video begin playing when they open the page.
