I have been inspired by this video: http://www.flashvideofactory.com/test/DEMO720_Heima_H264_500K.html
So that video is 1280x720 25fps but the bitrate is only 500K :) So that video which is naerly 4 minutes long, is only 15.5MB in size, but 720p resolution :) In not sure which encoder & settings he used. Granted it is possible to see various compression artifacts here and there, as the bitrate is much lower than would be recommended for such resolutions, but even so, Im very impressed. Other issues such as playback performance on slower machines could be an issue, but ooh nonetheless :) Cheers Steve Elbows --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, "Michael Verdi" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > On Feb 4, 2008 5:14 PM, Heath <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > But this does lead to another question, how many people are watching > > the videos "on site" and how many download and watch on their > > portable?
