TD Video will create a sequence of web pages for you. Each page of the sequence is for a play in the game. Each page shows the score, down, yardline, and distance to go for first down plus links to other plays in the game. A QuickTime video appears on each page. TD Video enables you to recompress your video to a smaller size so you can fit a game on a CD or your website. Recompressing the video takes considerable time. TD Video can utilize Elgato's turbo.264 HD video compression hardware to accelerate this process.
The web site also contains 4 QuickTime reference movies. The first shows the entire game. The second shows just plays that you marked as offense. The third QuickTime movie contains plays that were marked as defense. The fourth QuickTime movie contains all the special team plays.
Web games can be viewed on Macintosh or Windows based PCs.
