Website - Web Gallery / Video Streaming
 

Yes, I know I work for a webhosting company, but there's no one in the office to ask.

I've got my own website (check it out, there;s not much there www.flamingeck.com) . I've played arround for hours, different options, styles etc...

Basically enoughs enough, I want something up and working. I've got a **** load of photos to show.

I don't want anything to do with frames, they're wrong on so many levels.

I've got my own server box, so can pretty much install anything I wish.

I'm not really after a full website solution, maybe just a simple flash script.

Also, how easy is it to add video to a website, I'd really like NOT use anything microsoft based.

Anyone got any ideas?

The main point, is I'd like a solution, that could be embedded into any website design I choose.

I think thumbnails, with a nice big photo (atleast 1024x768) size would be idea.

I did see one script recently IIRC it was java, where the screen would darken but reveal the main photo inlarged.

Input, show off what you've got. I need some ideas!

Edit -

Thanks to whoever deleted my double entry. It;s the most action I've seen all week.

For video, the best thing to do is first make the video in any format you want, and then use SUPER to convert it to a more web friendly format.. either flash video or flash or quicktime...

SUPER rules!!! I work for the University of Minnesota Dept of Human Rights, and we have a bunch of video posted up on the web, I used SUPER to convert a lot of it from DVD to mov, great with quality, easy to use, and you can change the size, scale, framrate, bitrate whatever...

The sad thing is that both flash and quicktime is the spawn of satan.

Check out my site (the photography gallery)....you might want to check that out.
