Online video is complicated. You have to worry about competing codecs, encoding settings, delivery protocols, player technologies, etc.<p>Ask me anything video related. Email address in my profile.<p>(Not mentioning my video startup because I don't want to turn Offer HN into spam, but it's in my profile if you're interested.)
Hi Jon,
I'd appreciate your advices on my video startup <a href="http://videolla.com" rel="nofollow">http://videolla.com</a>! I dont think mentioning Zencoder is spam in that topic, its great! :) Sent you email
hi,
thought i'd ask in a comment rather than emailing, others might be interested to.<p>What sort of settings are "best" for flash videos? eg bit rate/resolution?<p>Every time i go to encode in flv i tend to use default settings, never really knowing if its a good idea to increase (/decrease) the bit rate etc? I have some sites where i know most people view the videos in full screen, so want high quality, but at the risk of it running slow (both because of internet speeds + flash videos are choppy on slow computers)
