Planning for the wedding of your dreams is the first step, but having a luxury wedding video to help remember the fond wedding day memories and share them with others is crucial. So once your wedding has been captured on video, there are a few options on how to receive and store your memories. Here are a few examples that can help you make the right choice.
Streaming over the Internet: This is a popular form of video delivery and is widely used everyday. Youtube, Vimeo, and Facebook are just a few of the popular sites that allow video streaming. The advantages are that the video is delivered at top quality and can be watched online, and even downloaded and stored on your computer. This form of delivery is great for those clients with broadband internet access, and who want to share their video online via Facebook, email, etc.
Blu-Ray Disc: This is currently considered the best, highest quality form of watching high definition video from a disc. Blu-Ray players are affordable, and offer the advantage of being able to watch your wedding video on your big screen plasma or LCD TV. We highly recommend this type of disc over the traditional DVD, which is only for standard definition video.
USB or Hard Drive: Yes, believe it or not, you can watch your wedding video right on your television directly from a USB or portable hard drive. How, you ask? Some of the newer television models have USB ports built directly into the side of the television. So, all you need to do is plug in your USB storage device or portable hard drive, and voila. What if you have an older TV without one of these connections? There are devices available at your local electronics store that allows you to do the same. Ask your wedding videographer about some of these options that include Apple TV, Sony media player, or Western Digital media player.
Now that you have your wedding video, what is the best means of storing it?
Hard Drive: If you have a digital copy of your wedding video as well as a Blu-ray or DVD disc, you’ll need a way to store it. Keeping your wedding video on the hard drive of your computer also has a few advantages. It means you can access and readily stream your video to others over the internet and even post it on YouTube or other video servers. The problem is what do you do if the hard drive crashes? Even the best, most reliable computers can crash and take your wedding video down with it. So, it is best to keep your video stored on you main drive of your computer, and an external hard drive for security purposes.
