Can you guys test a video for me please

Sirrel Squirrel · 28 Jul 2006 at 17:25

Hey guys, at the moment for my H.264 videos on my website I'm using .mov format but I may change it to .mp4 as it seems to encode quicker and uses slightly less space but its still H.264, anyway can you tell me if the .mp4 format for this video loads correctly, cheers. http://www.mia-media.co.uk/videopage/stream_hd_maxpaynetest.html

can you also tell me if it plays n quicktime and if the sound streams ok.

Thanks

Squirrel.

good to know cheers, just been experimenting with different file types so good to know I found one worth using

Could a few other people test this for me as well please, I keep getting a crackling sound on the audio from it :confused:

CSS sounds for the win? lol.
But yeah. . .
Just tested it and works fine in Quicktime.

Just tried - shows "broken" quicktime symbol?

Sirrel Squirrel · 30 Jul 2006 at 14:03

yeh defo cs sounds for the win

I thought they were better than the max payne ones and easier to get the files for.

Mel_P have you got the latest version of quicktime, 7. whatever it is?

sunlitsix · 30 Jul 2006 at 14:21

7.1 is the latest

Mel_P · 30 Jul 2006 at 17:24

I have Quicktime 6.5.2 and don't feel the need to update!

You can't watch HD movie trailers without it or my videos, so update it!

Mel_P · 30 Jul 2006 at 22:35

An update doesn't take me to 7.1 - only to 6.5.2 + some updated components.

Presumably 7.1 is a full download and "Reinstall"

I remember why I haven't done this "upgrade" - I don't want iTunes. Earlier versions gave the option of not including this?

sunlitsix · 30 Jul 2006 at 22:38

not sure, i got it with itunes so...

Sirrel Squirrel · 31 Jul 2006 at 13:32

Cheers for all the replys guys, does anyone else think the colour in the video looks too dark, if you compare it to this version http://www.mia-media.co.uk/videopage/stream_hd_maxpayne.html which still uses the h.264 codec but was encoded using quicktime so its a .mov file, the colours look brighter and the sound seems better even though its been encoded at the exact same bit rates.
