Re: Compression Master [slightly ot]



cool :)

For myself, I come from the progressive world...and have basically avoided RTSP due to its obvious limitations.
It appears that Windows Media recommends that you ACTUALLY use RTSP over HTTP streaming.
Are there any reasons NOT to use MBR with Windows Streaming Server ?


I have a great opportunity to totally revamp this client's media streaming...
This company does a lot of live video game streaming. For example, if there is a Quake game tournament in Chicago, they are sticking a camera in front of the video game monitor...amongst other things. So there is a lot more pixel activity than a normal video.


In the attempt to accommodate the material, they have been streaming a SINGLE 600-650+ kbit stream for all live and non-live streams.
And, they are wondering why no one can see their streams. I would laugh, but these people are paying me ;)
Image Quality is very important to these folks.



So with that kind intro, what kind of MBR rates would you guys consider acceptable ? Or, for all non-live material, should I use HTTP streaming instead.
And, as this is getting even more OT what forums are recommended for Windows Streaming and Windows Streaming Server Issues ?


getting up to speed

Here's another CM made movie:

I made this WMV at 500kbit/s I think (it's so hard to tell, and I can't remember for sure). There are lots of intentional glitches in the video, which were there in the original file. Even so the compression held up ok.
