Video formats and Compatibility

1. Streaming and downloadable movies

   You can download every movie, and you can stream most movies. Streaming is where you can watch the movie online, but you can skip ahead in the movie without waiting for it to download. When you download a movie you keep a digital copy on your hard drive. My movies do not have DRM (digital rights management) and every movie you download you can keep and watch whenever you want.

   These movies are offered in high-quality MP4 format, in 3 sizes: Large (2Mbs), Medium (800Kbs), and Small (300Kbs).

   I use the JWPlayer module to stream the movies online, which is broadly compatible across many platforms. It uses Flash or HTML5 to play the movie, depending on which is more appropriate. Between the two JWPlayer is compatible with all of the most modern browsers. I always recommend that everyone should update to the latest browser for the highest compatibility. The preview videos use the same player, so if you can view the preview videos with no problems, you'll be able to watch the movies just fine.

2. iOS and Android

   You can watch MyStraightBuddies movies on your iOS or Android phone or tablet. Right now the movies are only streaming on iOS devices, I will be adding the ability to download to iOS devices ASAP. Most Android devices should be able to download the movies right now, but I can't make any guarantee per specific devices or operating systems.
