    What speeds, formats & resolutions do you encode videos @ for your members areas?

    Looking back over the past 2 years I'd say 85% of my clients do their own encoding. At the time we launched we decided to offer 2 formats and 3 speeds included at the same price as titles purchased by clients who wanted dvds only.

    Of course we always try and accomodate webmasters that have needs outside of our pre selected specs and offer custom encoding as well (at a nominal fee) - but the reality is that times continually change so I want to hear your thoughts and maybe make some changes.

    The specs we chose originally were really chosen more or less by polling site owners.

    Well, here we go again ...

    For webmasters that don't want to do do encoding on their own or don't have the time or staff - what do you think the ideal speeds, resolutions and formats are TODAY for video in your members areas?

      encoding

      For streaming, encode in Mp4 at 256kbs 320x240 and stream them using Darwin streaming server.

      For downloads, encode with DIVX 6 at 640x480 (if NTSC) and 720x544 (if PAL) and 800kbs. Used to use WMV but several none windows members asked for versions they could watch so change to DIVX as its available for platforms including some DVD players

              One format, one download, one file.

              Suffering ceases when attachment to desire ceases.
