streaming video online - j2ee

Unfortunately, streaming video by hand -- using your own custom-rolled JSP or servlet or whatever -- is almost impossible to get right. More importantly, it's not very stable. If you're looking to provide even moderate professionalism, you're going to need a commercial solution.

Better yet, why not use a video hosting service like vimeo.com or blip.tv? You can easily embed the code to show your video, or create the HTML in your code. Better yet, the Vimeo player is pretty straightforward, and you could build a simple JSP to serve up videos in your own preferred size by just passing in the ID of the video on Vimeo.

Basically, my answer is this: don't reinvent the wheel. There are lots of good wheels out there, just build your chassis on top. Okay, yes, the metaphor breaks down. But you get the idea.

By the way, I vastly prefer Vimeo to any other service. It's really not even close.

You'll also want to work on that file size. That is an enormous file to try to deliver. There are many ways to compress your video pretty substantially without compromising your quality.

When I upload videos (that originally weigh in at around 2GB) to Vimeo, I simply run it through Compressor and compress it with H.264. I try to target my bit rate anywhere from 3000-5000 kbps. Keep in mind, thats for live video of people, so I need the detail. The less detail you need, the more you can compress without it looking like it belongs on YouTube.
