It’s really just a simple file server on the Internet.

In your case, the students would need to have the Xvid player installed to view the slideshow. The same is true for SWF, MOV, and other file formats, except that these are handled almost by default with some commonly installed players, Flash and Quicktime in this case.

And uploads are limited to 45MB for now. But I’d think for anyone on dial-up this seems to be a reasonable limitation.

thanks!

If an instructor had an Xvid slideshow that was 150 MBs, what would the flash player deliver to the client?

This is really cool, and seems like a smart move to go S3. Keep it up.
