For UK broadcasters who are now commissioning in full 1080p HD —
BBC, Sky — HDCAM tape is a minimum. Sky One commissioners are
currently lobbying their tech guys to accept the EX1.

Pazera is a quick n’ easy FLV – AVI converter. Ditto Total Video
Converter. Make sure you download them from trusted sources – e.g.

Those WMV examples are very large. If they’ve exported using Adobe
Media Encoder (AME) then they probably didn’t bother optimising it for
Web and just went with the full-screen preset. The WMVs aren’t
embedded for streaming making the whole process very constrictive.

I gave up waiting for the WMVs to download and streamed the
ASX version instead.

I think you’ll find that, using AME/WMV 9/1024K preset, a 300 x
300-ish dimension file will go full-screen without too much loss.
You’ll need to experiment with bitrate settings, though. If I still
have my ‘custom’ preset saved, I’ll send them to you.

I speak from experience — this is how ourselves and directors
used to asset manage when working on (for example) music video
edits. Since then we’ve moved on to CS3/Flash.
https://www.hullfc.tv is one of our clients. Not the best quality,
but quality v. bandwidth will be perennial issue until everyone’s
using super-broadband.

Here’s a screenshot example of the weird lines which occur
whenever a high-end plugin is applied (in AE or PPro) to our
DV footage.

It’s as soon as the plugin’s applied. Mostly noticeable at the
edges, especially if the sky’s white.

We did tweak the Open GL/adaptive resolution settings as mentioned
by Kevin (above), but it’s still a problem.

Will look into that that when I return to the edit suite.
Cheers, Kevin.
