Re: [Flashcoders] h264 video looks blurry/crappy in flash
the aspect is 1:1 If i playback a flv (on2 VP6) everything looks as it should. I even tried some videos from apple.com/trailes - at first i thought they where played back perfectly. But after a few replays i could see some enhanced compression artifacts especiallly in the reds compared to when playing them back in the quicktime player. But they wasnt as blurry as my h264. I tried using a .mov wrapper instead of mp4. Same result. Which make me start to think it could be my encodign software... Anyway i will make some extra tests to try and find a bit more head and tails in the matters. cheers, B) Søren MOTION INTERACTIVITY dslnc studio - www.desilence.net +34 93 268 0953 / +34 61 555 9963 (mobile) On Oct 28, 2008, at 2:25 PM, Latcho wrote: Check: Is your video pixel aspect ratio square pixels 1:1 ? or for ex. 1:1.07 or 1:1.333.

What if you encode your video directly with the Flash Video Encoder ? cedric the aspect is 1:1 If i playback a flv (on2 VP6) everything looks as it should.

Re: [Flashcoders] h264 video looks blurry/crappy in flash
I will give it a try But I find the flash video encoder very basic. Not the best place to finetune the bitrate/quality balance.

[Flashcoders] h264 video looks blurry/crappy in flash
Hey All Has anybody experieced h264 video being more crappy when played through flash instead of i.e. the quicktime player If you compare these two: In flash http://agentzoo.dk/temp/videotests/?file=mp4/ bancpost720_16-9.mp4w=702h=394 the file directly: http://agentzoo.dk/temp/videotests/mp4/bancpost720_16-9.mp4 You will see a big quality differece - Notice how blurry the video and subtitles looks and how compressed the text and logo looks in flash. The video has carefully been compressed in episode with flash compatible settings...

Re: [Flashcoders] h264 video looks blurry/crappy in flash
Detection script has the wrong version format: 9,1,1,5 Should be: 9,0,115,0 As for the blurryness, like Cedric said, it's probably the video.smoothing property. Without it though, the video (especially text at the end) looks very jagged. regards, Muzak - Original Message - From: Søren Christensen [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Flash Coders List flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Sent: Friday, October 24, 2008 5:15 PM Subject: [Flashcoders] h264 video looks blurry/crappy in flash Hey All Has anybody experieced h264 video being more crappy when played through flash instead of i.e. the quicktime player If you compare these two: In flash http://agentzoo.dk/temp/videotests/?file=mp4/ bancpost720_16-9.mp4w=702h=394 the file directly: http://agentzoo.dk/temp/videotests/mp4/bancpost720_16-9.mp4 You will see a big quality differece - Notice how blurry the video and subtitles looks and how compressed the text and logo looks in flash.
