In reply to Message (4366) video formats- opinions required.
By Kev - kev.styx@ntlworld.com Wed 25/06/03 01:23:23 GMT Website: www.styxwetworld.com We are currently experimenting with DivX encoding to replace the MPEG1's on the members' site.
The reason for this is to improve quality. Despite recent claims about DivX quality, the reality is that true high quality means files of around 14Mb per minute compared to 11.5Mb for MPEG1's- a 20% increase. This would obviously increase download times.
However this should give DVD quality movies, which is somthing eveyone would like to see. This standard would also apply to free clips we would be offering to non-members'.
We would like to hear views from people who download movies to get some feed back on what they want to see.
DivX is now available for Wndows and Apple based systems and a version launched for Linux too. So we feel it could be a good time to offer DivX as it now has wide support on lots of platforms and appears to be following an open source route.
Any points, issues or opinions would be welcome.
