Bug #: 30347
Summary: Automatical creation of low bitrate/resolution video
file versions
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Images and files
AssignedTo: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org
ReportedBy: kol...@seznam.cz
CC: bryan.tongm...@gmail.com, kol...@seznam.cz
Classification: Unclassified
Within Wikimedia, images are said to be uploaded in the highest resolution
possible. This works fine with thumbnails of images in articles. But highest
resolution possible should be a rule for videos too. However, if one uploads a
FullHD video a puts it into an article on Wikipedia, it is very bandwidth
demanding to play it (not very nice for mobile viewing for instance). In
articles, low bitrate videos are preffered. Today, you have to upload another
low-bitrate file yourself if you want to have SD version in the article. I
propose automatical creation of lower-bitrate (lower resolution) video versions
that can be used to play within articles. While FullHD is 1080p, the SD
versions might be 240p or 360p. The call for SD version might be an extra
parameter in [[File:]] tag or it just could be set by default for the
in-article thumbnail video version.
