Video Quality

[bootmaker]

Be sure to get the mp4, then upload it.

i would assume you know that the video on your site is an adult clip?

I don't know why, but when I used the file attached to the beginning of this thread, the conversion result was really bad.  Videos were highly pixelated and you couldn't make out much of what was happening.  So, instead of made some tweaks but I'm not totally happy, and now I'm concerned there's too much disparity between file types.  My site (http://www.poolvids.com) hosts pool/billiards videos, most converted over from vshare so the majority of flv's already existed, and I used mass uploader to bring them into the new site.  Because of the content here, video quality is very important.  You can see the quality now by looking at the two most recent files uploaded.  The others were converted through the old vshare process / different settings.

I've attached my converter file here (in text format).  Shawn (or anyone), is this something you could help me with? Thanks in advance!

Wait until you see the video quality settings in the V3 admin panel.  They're awesome!

I'm having issues with my video being too large for the black box where it plays and the graphics in the video we filmed run off the side of the viewing area like it's too big. 

Will V3 fix this issue? 

I've tried all suggestions in previous posts by lowering the video settings in convertor.php and even lowering the qmax settings didn't have an effect.

My site is http://www.gourmetfoodtube.com.

We shot several videos in H.264 format at 1280x720 aspect ratio in HD.  Coded them in QuickTime saved with the MOV extension, which I didn't see an optional fix for that type to improve video quality.

Any help you can offer will be absolutely appreciated b/c I'm stumped at this point.

Thank You!

Try either changing the stretching param on your player, or reducing the height of the player to accommodate your widescreen format.

Thanks much for the quick suggestion.  I'm newer than new to this stuff and know that I need to edit some php files on the server, but that's about the extent of it.  If you could kindly let me know which files need to be edited for the two suggestions...I can go from there.

Thanks again!

The "stretching" can be changed in templates/inner_play.htm, and the player size can be adjusted by changing the embed code in the same file, then adjusting the css for the player box in css/main.css accordingly.  ;)

Ah Hah!  Fixed it!

Here's what I did... I changed the code line in templates/inner_play.htm

Find the code called...

so.addVariable('stretching','fill');



changed this line to...

so.addVariable('stretching','exactfit');



I tweaked the inner and outer boxes and voila...it's fixed!

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!
