  • YouTube-What is the state of the art for compression?

    Posted by Matthew London on November 16, 2007 at 10:45 pm

    Hi,

    Need top quality YouTube video. I’ve been using Apple’s compressor, but I’m not a compressionist, and despite following advice here and elsewhere on the net, feel like we should be getting much better quality.

    What is the state of the art for YouTube compression? Are there any hardware based solutions? Anyone providing YouTube compression services that stand out?

    many thanks,
    Matthew

    This is state of the art – the quality these guys achieve through Hex hacking is unbeatable;

    Sorry, that made me laugh, state-of-the-art and YouTube in the same sentence. 🙂

    Danny…thanks for the pointer… but I need someone who could do the work for me

    Ed… well, if you are putting video up on your website and dont want to pay 100’s or 1000’s a month for streaming when loads of people start hammering your site, then embedding YouTube videos makes a lot of sense !!!

    No argument here, but it still is funny. 🙂
    A client put some web videos I did for them
    up on YouTube and boy did they suck, but then
    they subscribed to BrightCove and everything
    got so much better. You’d think they would at least
    not recompress stuff already in the right format, and
    that they would allow On2VP6 by now.
