This is one of my favourite features in our new release as it gives total control to the user over the quality of video and it speeds up the uploading process. Let me explain. If you would rather prepare videos locally on your own PC and encode them to your parameters then this feature is ideal for you. By encoding the video yourself you can adjust the bitrate and frame rate to your liking. If you want to know the optimal bit rate for your video here is a useful calculator on Adobe’s site written by Robert Reinhardt.
To activate this DNE setting turn video encoding OFF in the MY VZAAR settings page. This means we won’t encode your videos and once uploaded they will be ready to use, preserving your video and the parameters you have set. You must encode your videos to flash using one of the following codecs: h.263, h.264, VP6 or VP7 for this to work.
Because we are by passing the encioding process your videos will upload much faster. Please note that this is a default setting so be sure to change it back if you have videos you want vzaar to encode.
If you want vzaar to encode your videos turn this button ON. We will then encode your videos with these default parameters below:
Frame Rate: This is set to 25fps on all video unless you select HD in which case its 30fps.
Bit Rate: This depends on the Player size you select see chart below:
Video Codec: We use H.264 but we offer the option in the settings page for you to use H.263
Audio Codec: We use MP3 for our H.263 and AAC for our H.264 encoding.
dne gives you speed and control. If you have used this feature we would love to hear your feedback.
