- What about BANDWIDTH for each of the above?
- What codecs/formats are most popular?
- What works the best for Apple users or do you just not worry about them?
- Any comments about the new H.264 codec?
- What are your feelings (as webmasters) with regard to DRM?
- Is there anything other than MS for DRM?
- Is it possible to host your own DRM server rather than paying someone else?
- What is better and why, Secure Streaming or DRM?
This is all I can think of for now so TIA. |
1. We use widescreen (16:9 aspect ratio) for all our videos. 1280x720 at 3700kbit/s for the HD, MED: 720x405 1700kbit/s LOW: 432x324 at 500kbit/s
2. see above
3. wmv
4. wmv plays fine in the WMV player for OSX, or the Filp4Mac plugin for Quicktime plays wmv files, and VLC also plays wmv files now.
5. h.264 is really nice, but the wmv seems to be a slightly better. Also, the h.264 is more computationally tasking relative to a wmv file at the same bitrate.
6,7,8 Users hate DRM. It's not worth it.
9. Depends on the file size you're using
