What video compression to use for high quality streaming video? - GoFuckYourself.com

jawanda · 08-22-2008, 02:46 PM

Hi guys, wondering what video formats / compression methods you use to get the best quality (and decent quality/speed ratio) for streaming video? Quicktime, WMV, Flash? Any specific compression software that gets great results?

Thanks a lot for any input, I really appreciate it

depends on your website, business model and customers.
HD is best

You want tube sites to die off? Well step 1 is keeping content IN the members areas. There is a way to do this, and we do it. Stopping tube sites isn't done by keeping information important to our industry secret.

Yes but since it isnt supported via the adobe flash player yet its not much use for paysites without pissing people off lol.

GrouchyAdmin · 08-22-2008, 04:24 PM

It's a damn shame that you can't even do a realtime transcode of x264 reliably, yet.

jawanda · 08-25-2008, 04:07 PM

Thanks for input! I have been using flash compressed videos but still trying to tweak the settings to get the best results. I haven't tried mp4 w/ h264 before, I'll let you know how it comes out. Thanks again.

H.264 High Profile, and tweak the shit out of it.

This is 720p @ 500Kbps: http://www.flashvideofactory.com/tes...H264_500K.html

If that is truely 500kbps then that is impressive no doubt. I do that quality but at around 1000 to 1500k

Same here. That one was made by Fabio Sonnati, the guy is an encoding god. You should see the 1080p version @ 1500kbps. Unreal.
