Activity Forums Compression Techniques codec for high-res playback

  • codec for high-res playback

    Posted by Maksim Moiseev on October 22, 2012 at 1:00 pm

    Hello!
    I need an advice for choosing best codec:
    I want to encode video 1920×3240 px, (created in AE from graphics).

    Resulted video has to be played back flawlessly on a local PC across three Eyefinity monitors.
    Targeted PC configuration is i3-i5,with 2GB memory.

    I have tried to encode in mp4, processor shows 100% load during playback and i see playback with dropped frames.
    Is there a codec that can handle such task?

    If a h264 wont work you are quite limited..
    Maybe try dropping the quality allot!
    Depending how long and the type of video Maybe a SWF ? (after effects export swf)

    Why SWF? Have you tried it with big resolutions?

    I have used SWF on some machines that wont play anything else.

    After loading it into a browser it may play smoothly after running through once or twice.

    Worth a shot?
