Ridge Video profileBelow are links to streaming videos created at Ridge Vineyards by VintageMedia. These videos require the free Quicktime player be installed. Help Notes.The link will download a tiny text file, which opens the Quicktime Player and directs it to our streaming video server. If the movie seems to move too slowly or has problems, likely your quicktime connection speed setting is too fast. Open your QuickTime Player and locate the preferences menu. In "connections", set your connection speed to be less than that of your internet connection. If you are the only active user, set it at about 2/3 of your internet connection speed. If you are one of many current users, set it to be half or less. If you are on a DSL or a Cable connection, your best setting is considerably less than what your service tells you is available at your facility. Try 512k or 768k. Only use the "LAN" setting if you are on a LAN with multi-megabit access. If your facility has, say a T1 with 1 or 1.5 Mbit bandwidth, you're sharing that with everyone else and all the other devices. Set your QuickTime connection speed at 768. If you are sharing a 768 internet connection, set your QuickTime connection speed at 384 or 512, depending on how many others you share with at the time. These movies "stream", that is they broadcast to your computer and your computer displays it as it receives it. No files are stored on your computer. The format is "rtsp://" or real time streaming protocol. Sometimes network administrators will block this type of broadcast; it's not a security threat, but some networks have policies that prohibit streaming media. Large MoviesIf your facility has very large bandwidth and you wish to see movies in larger format, try these connections (English only). If the movie stalls or degrades in quality, you probably don't have enough bandwidth to play large format movies.
