Highest quality WMV playable on average pcs specs
I’m putting a higher quality version of my project in an extra folder on the DVDA disc, for optional pc viewing (with proper Studio RGB-Computer RBG color correction).
I’m wondering what the average bit rate and res should be for most pcs out there now.

My 2.8 desktop plays the highest 1440 1080 8mbs fine. I asume your using HD or HDV files for the higher res wmv. If your using DV 720-480 there is no need to use a high def setting as they wont look better that the DV files you started out with.

Yes, it’s HDV material.
I’ve been testing a bunch of files on a number of pcs this week and have made a decision to go with 1280x720p wmv files. This seems to play well on all the pcs I’ve tried.
I’m not sure if windows media player utilizes dual cores or not, but it seems that the dual cores that are under 2ghz don’t play the full 1440 files too well where there are lots of generated media and faster movement.
The 2.8ghz pcs I tried studdered on certain points on the 1440 file as well. I guess it really depends on what’s running on the pc and how labour intensive the file is.
The only question I have now is 1280×720 still considered HD?
