Why We're Better

We’re television broadcast professionals who can deliver anything from a simple “talking head” presentation to a full blown documentary.

Company founder Rick Griffith is a former NBC TV Affiliate News Reporter who brings his expertise as a Broadcast Journalist to the world of Streaming Video:   “Internet video presentations need to be brief for the most part; somewhat like TV News—keep it simple. You can tell a wonderful story in less than two minutes—if you know what you’re doing. Lead with your best shots. Use customer testimonials. They’re real. They’re believable. Does your product move?  Let’s see it move.  Let’s hear what it sounds like. What do happy customers look like as the enjoy the benefits of your product or service. Nothing sells it like video. It doesn’t get any more real and simple than that.

“If it’s a sales video, all the video needs to do is make our client’s phone ring, or move the web shopper to place an order. Whatever your message is, try telling it with streaming video and watch the magic begin.

“One should never accept anything short of broadcast quality. It really doesn’t cost much more to do the job right. If your video looks less than professional, so will your company.

“When I was in TV news I learned to produce short videos on a tight budget and still make them look good on the evening news. That’s what we do at Website Video Works; we work with our client’s budget in mind.

“We offer excellent photography, good editing, crisp writing, and great voice work at an affordable price. That’s why we never miss anybody on price.”

With Website Video Works, quality is a top priority.  When you’re looking for someone to stream your video, be certain they have your best interest in mind.  When compressing and encoding your video, the editor has many choices. We always use the highest quality settings in everything we do; it takes longer but it makes your video look as clean and crisp as possible.

Here’s an example of encoding video the right way: When we encode your video we create three versions, one each for the various player speeds. For Cable Modems, a five minute video will take about one hour and 20 minutes to encode (convert a non-compressed AVI file to a Windows Media Player file). For DSL play it’s about 50 minutes. And about 10 minutes for the Dial-Up Modem version.

The other way to do this is to encode your beautiful video at the medium settings, thereby saving an hour in the process. Technically speaking one would convert the original video project to an AVI file using a variety of compressors. Compressors literally shrink the original video file down to a mere 10% of original. But the cost of doing this is the elimination of important data—data which should be there to make your presentation as rich as possible.

In short, we like to leave your video files as fat and healthy as we possibly can. It takes longer but it’s well worth the effort.

Our advice is that whomever you choose to compress, encode, and stream your video, save yourself some heartache and look at their work. It may look good on VHS tape or DVD, but be certain to see how it plays on the internet.

We want your video to look as good as possible, that’s why we do not charge for compressing and encoding when you stream your video with us.
