Does VShare Support HD and is there flash video player for HD available?

HD is no special video, it has only a better encoding rate (=quality). You can increase the bitrate.
The file lays here: include/settings/video_conversion.php
If you want a button like YouTube, you must call bplex oder grynmoors for a special mod.

I am interested as well
To get high quality, you need to upload high quality video, then get it converted with out losing quality, for FLV format, increase bit rate (will increase video size too) or use software that use codec like on2 or h264. With vshare 2.7 you can upload .mp4 (h264) video, .mp4 videos are HD format and can be played with any flash player. In future release we will look into possibility of converting videos to h.264 format. This can be easily done, if you have the command to convert video to mp4 format, ffmpeg with h264 codec can do this, need to do some more testing before we can use it.
This statement is impossible. Can't be done. Not in your life. Don't even try it.Quote:

Increasing the bitrate on FLV videos with the current software used to convert them is actually pointless. This is because mencoder and ffmpeg generally convert video into FLV7 and FLV8, which is a very lossy compression standard. FLV9 and FLV10 can actually do HQ video, but they usually require commercial conversion software to do.Quote:

Not true on two fronts. First, MP4 != HD. Secondly, flash players typically cannot play MP4. Flash players can, however, play H.264 (this is part of the Flash 9 standard).Quote:

ok, pmed you...
My request to PM me was directed to the admin.Quote:
