WOW!
I was unimpressed until I realized I hadn't clicked on "View In HD" then EVERYTHING changed. Please share your "secret"!

i think you got one of these lucky case where content almost perfectly match the encoding.
in your case, fixed, dark background with no fine details, large surface with uniform colors, few change from picture to picture, so prediction is easy etc.... you can see that the encoder is still on the edge when the baby turns the head, and the details on the hairs goes fuzzy.

I think using 1280 x 720p settings will get you there.
This film for the DV Challenge was sent in a letterboxed HD format before 16:9 announcement was made. They converted it after the change over, to my surprise. But even it shows that things will look good in the future: YouTube - Light Rider

Double post deleted (either the server or my internet is misbehaving).

Looks good, but playback here is very jerky! Nice furniture though. Is it Christmas already? Damn!
So I wonder - you guys will probably have good computers, but just what proportion of the public out there can actually watch HD videos..? One experiment I did that was very interesting was when I'd downloaded a regular video off YouTube I'd worked on long ago and then tidied it up and put it on Vimeo. There was a huge increase in quality! Here's the original YouTube - James - Tomorrow and here's is the same video on Vimeo James - Tomorrow on Vimeo NOTE: make sure to switch HD to off (click the 'HD is on' icon). Yup, the same Flash file, and even downgraded a bit by Vimeo. Notice how much better the sound is too? Why can't YouTube play it back with the same quality? The upshot of this is that YouTube encoding, though far from perfect, turns out to be not nearly as bad as their playback quality would suggest. it also begs the question (to me) whether a clever person could design a window that played YouTube live but at a better quality than YouTube themselves offer. And would YouTube object... Anyone here care to do the equivalent experiment with some YouTube HD videos? See what turns up? Last edited by Karel Bata; December 13th, 2008 at 06:46 AM. |

The James video on Vimeo isn't playing. I get a 2 second animated still for your zombie trailer.
