Video Quality

[dlewis23]

Is it possible to have better video quality?

I want to be able to offer like double the video quality of what all the other video sites offer.

Video is converted to FLV format using mencoder/ffmpeg. Video quality depends on the video you upload and the conversion command you used. If you upload a compressed video like wmv format, you will get better quality.

The script allow you to modify conversion command by modifying include/settings/video_conversion.php

Im very interested in this, how do we increase the quality like a few examples as what it is now and lines of how to change it to better quality encoding would be appreciated.

There is no single command to get better video quality, it all dpends on show the source video encoded, for more details, read

Hi,
when I use same video (wmv format) with vshare and clipshare, Clipshare video quality is very high. but vshare quality is very poor. why?

same server with two programs(vshare and clipshare)

Clipshare have a one option setup video quality

Check the command used to convert, they allow changing bitrate, size etc...

If you know what bit rate you need, you can also do the same change in the convert command in include/settings/video_conversion.php

$config[mencoder] $video_src -o $video_flv -of lavf -oac mp3lame -lameopts abr:br=56 -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=flv:vbitrate=500:mbd=2:mv0:trell:v4mv:cbp:last_pred=3 -srate 22050 -lavfopts i_certify_that_my_video_stream_does_not_use_b_frames

We have video bitrate of 500 and audio bitrate of 22050.

You can try increasing the video bitrate for better quality.

I don't know much about bitrates...do we increase the bitrate in certain increments or does it matter what number you put in there?

What is clipchare pro set at?

I also don't have the directory and file you mention (include/settings/video_conversion.php) anywhere. Searched my entire computer and the files on the webhost. No video_conversion.php file found.

NVM it's in the NEW RELEASE in the ANNOUCEMENTS section but I'd still like to know what would be a better bitrate to put in there. Thanks.

NEVERMIND! I got brave and put in 512 for the bitrate and it's MUCH better.

I put my rate to 768 works nice.
