H.264 Codec Test

[bellyzbad]

i hate ppl wHAT STill use divx and xvid

[leucomaofthecornea]

he skipped 480p :O 

[slycooper601]

i never seen a youtube video go from 360 to 720 w/ no 480 in the middle

[thatniggbeme7]

wow can u tell me how to get this kinda result with vegas

[asgeir961]

how do you get the H.264 codec?? iv been looking for daysss! please help me.

[Javagamer99FI]

@asgeir961 Google x264vfw and download it from some site. That's it.

[asgeir961]

@Javagamer99FI

Yes i have done that but it doesn't seem to work with Adobe After Effects.

[Javagamer99FI]

@asgeir961 Okay, then compress the video file to "uncompressed" on Adobe After Effects and download virtualdub. With virtualdub compress the video to H.264.

[trudyandgeorge]

Aspect ratio fail. Gotta crop that shit nigga, learn to DARs it up!

[nxtc1275]

WoW! 

[davewozere2k9]

Duuude, tell me how to get the right settings to upload high qual videos :p

[MrBabiroesa]

Testing 123-123. Testing.

This thing seems Unreplyable.

China take an example!

[MouthofSaurons]

You only need to put audio to 41,100 KHZ :P

[Ale7it]

16:9 FAIL

[iROclips]

this looks like it has reduced frames, no offense

[fnub]

Anyone out there kind enough to tell me how to take footage from a DVD..?

[BOSANCOLOR]

@fnub , All you have to do is download MPEG Streamclip, it is free, and you are all set.

[gamerfreak5665]

@fnub lol, this is a late comment, but all you have to do is to put you dvd in your computer, and open the VIDEO_TS folder from the dvd, and copy and paste the .VOB files to your computer.

[fnub]

@gamerfreak5665 I just tried it with the good the bad and the ugly and it wouldn't import into Adobe Premiere. I copied the VOB to my hard drive. Adobe said it couldn't open the files cuz it was under rights management. How'd you get around that?

[gamerfreak5665]

@fnub yeah, adobe premiere has trouble with files like that. If you rename the VOB file to .mpeg, it should import. To enable file extension changing, go to folder options in the control panal, view tab, and uncheck "hide extensions for known file types." but if it doesn't import, then try using a different program: I use cyberlink powerdirector, and that does open vob's

[fnub]

@gamerfreak5665 Thank you I will try this. Muchly appreciated!

[fnub]

@gamerfreak5665 ok so i FINALLY tried this technique of renaming the extension from .vob to .mpeg - too bad for me it didn't work. It allowed me to rename it, but when imported into Adobe's Pr CS5, those were somehow converted to blank wav files. Anyhow, thanx for takin the time to explain how it works. Must be nice to be one f those people where it works for them - sucks to be me ha ha ha...

[gamerfreak5665]

@fnub I think i know what happened. Premiere thinks that mpeg is an audio file. perhaps if you name it mp2 or mpg2 it will work. But it could be a computer issue, try using a different program.

[eikira]

1. your upload sucks. not even 720p just some fucking commercial for yourself.

2. your upload SUCKS.

[MultiGertjan]

gret movie!

[hitachi654]

reupload this in 1080p cuas youtube has it now and aswome i love this movie and great quality what programs

[iCookie1]

this is sparta...biatch

[GVPisthebest]

dude im new at this so how do i usea the H.264 codec

[STimmortal]

what was the filesize of this, the rendering time and your cpu speed? :P

[XFilms95]

that looks uncredible! did you have to download the H264 codec?

[TrunxX69]

is this wmv or what>

[notoriousslob]

OMFG That was crazy!

[ilia4kata]

quit smoking that shit. i just converted 1.2GB into 33MB in 3 min 15 sec (dont bother asking for details. it is what it is)

[tranquil2me]

You say this clip is about 100 megs, but how big was the source clip? And is there much loss in quality from the source?

[dbsagacious]

source was 145 meg, and there was virtually no loss in quality.

[xstreamsystems]

Whats the actual codec that you used to make this vid? like FFDshow, Apple H.264, so on and so on...

[ZenergyKAL]

Looks very nice.

Can we edit videos in this format? cut parts join other clips ect

[DazToraUK]

How big was this file size after compression/rendering?

[dbsagacious]

Pretty big. Just over 100 meg If I remeber correctly.

[ZenergyKAL]

What settings do you use when you want to archive a clip like this? Around how many megs would this one be before it starts to look bad

[blizzared2]

This is mp4 Codec H.264?

[DazToraUK]

AH I see, Well I was going to use those settings for a few of my gaming vids they are 10 minutes each I might just have to reduce the audio/video bit rate slightly

[brianjcavanaugh]

Why do my H264 videos play choppy or briefly pause?

[nickwelsh]

Do you de-interlace the video? If you don't, you'll get the choppy look. Try that.

[brianjcavanaugh]

Yes, deinterlaced. My videos used to play fine. Now I tried uploading a new one and lately they all play choppy (H264) or really, really low res (mpeg compression) with big blocky pixels.

[ki11joy92]

thats the format for blu-ray isnt it?

[pierluu]

really, really, really, really Thank you for saying the bps, not like "some people" would do (2 comment down...), anyway you're just great. Can I ask you for any problem? (ps I think that 1280 x 720 would be better for full-screen)

[DUerENfitte]

hey can you post the exact settings u used for this video here?

and i would be happy if u did another h.264 test. Maybe with Quantum of Solace? ^^

[dangerosa01]

sony vegas doesn't let me to choose video codec on mp4 format. how do you do it ??

[dbsagacious]

If you choose "MainConcept AAC/AVC", then you get the H.264 video codec.

[dangerosa01]

ok! thank you!! please, check this video= v=S9y34eUY_X8 I uploaded this video with this settings: H.264: 10Mbps, 30 fps, 480x360 mp4 format and it's too bad :( . I need your help!!

[dbsagacious]

Well, I'm not quite sure what is wrong there, I would remind you to make sure you check the deblocking filter, and make sure that it's set to progressive, not interlaced, but i don't think that is your problem. Honestly, it sorta just looks like that the original video quality was not so good. Where did you get that, and what is the quality like on the original?

[dangerosa01]

First, thank you for responding. Second, sorry for my english :)

I checked deblocking filter and progressive.

I captured that video with Fraps (Bitrate: 62,6Mbps, fps=30 ) the quality is perfect, I dont't know what's the problem.

[PartyPooperX]

try to use a bigger resolution the 480x360 sample definitely has more block noise (pixellation). Even though the youtube playback resolution is ultimately 480x360, it seems that feeding YouTube with higher-resolution video results in higher quality playback.

[ElPeruanoUFO]

hey there nigga I play pes6 too.

[DUerENfitte]

did you do this with vegas?

what settings?

AVCHD?

this is very good!

which program and what bitrate?

[dbsagacious]

Thanks for the comment. Yes I used Vegas Pro 8 and the specifics are in the info section. If you want to know more feel free to contact me.

[evildodgema]

This is sparta U BICH!!!!!!!!!!

[Nilmabostonrio]

Crispy image, Wow!

[akutenshi69]

wanna see queality put this in the end of the link &fmt=18 looks awesome h.264 rules

[ultcombo]

woah thx for the fast replies ^_^

good job

[ultcombo]

btw, what is the great difference between 29.7 and 30 fps? i just cant notice any actual difference, but if u have any theory to share with me i would be glad ¬¬

[dbsagacious]

Shoet answer: no difference. NTSC format uses 29.97fps which is kinda misleading because it uses interlaced fields, not frames. NTSC displays 59.94 fields per second split into alternating linesachieving 29.97. The reason is complicated and has to do with the way the less advanced equipment they used in the fifties when they set the standard. But for all intents and purposes, 29.97fps. is interchangeable with 30fps

[ultcombo]

is H.264 any better than Xvid MPEG4 ?

ur vid's quality is amazing, but xvid mpeg4 looks really clear to me, although im not a really video editor pro

[dbsagacious]

Mpeg4 is a container for information, much like avi, H.264 is a codec, which would correspond to the xvid part. I personally like H.264 over xvid because to me is tends to render a little cleaner, and compresses a bit smaller.

[matenzo]

do you ever get brightness issues with h264? my vids look overexposed when I use it :S

[ZenergyKAL]

i get that bright look with many codecs, u can lower the brightness in wmp and it looks almost normal. also when post on web sites the brightness thing seems to be gone

[BlackoutDOTcom]

isn't it better to do the resizing yourself and upload at 480 x 360?

[dbsagacious]

Previously that would have been true, but with the new processing system youtube uses, it's best to start out with the highest quality you can. But yes, technically all you need is 400KBps and 480x360 to get the "watch in high quality" option to appear.

[DarkLordOfDarkness25]

wat did u use 4 such insane great quality its amazing O.O

[dbsagacious]

I personally use Sony Vegas Pro software, but any progran will do this if it has the capability to encode H.264. Just use a high bitrate, and at least 640x480 resolution.

[Terry666Craig]

what video bitrate do you recommend? I've heard 192 kbps should do it..

and what d'you think is the best format (flv, avi, wmv..)?

..cos the quality of your video is amazing ^^

[dbsagacious]

The format I prefer is the MP4 format using the AVC/H.264 video codec. I think that it provides the best quality/file size combo. As for the bitrate, I use a variable bitrate with an average of 1.5Mbps and a max of 3.0Mbps. You're probably thinking audio with the 192Kbps bitrate, because that would not be nice to watch. Best advice is variable bitrate of at least 1.5 Mbps, use the best video you can start with, and use a resolution of at least 480x360. Let me know if you have any more questions.

[dbsagacious]

I should clarify what I said. 192 Kbps video would be watchable at lower resolution, and on a small screen. Like a iPhone, PSP, even youtube, if it wasn't watched fullscreen. A lower bitrate, lower resolution video will actually look better in standard quality and small window. If you watch my video like that it isn't very nice. Thats due to an effect called aliasing. Taking a high quality signal or image, and shrinking it. So my videos look poor in standard quality, but quite good in high.

[ElPeruanoUFO]

you're full of shit and misinformation, YouTube HD quality is just a secret no reasonable explanation.

[dbsagacious]

LOL! It does seem that way, huh?.

[Jimderkaisser]

h.264 have a great quality seriously

[Procrastinatathor]

Youtube videos are getting usable after all.

To when the full HD streaming content?

[saukratesass86]

With YouTube H264 AVC 9800kbps is the same as FLV, man.

[habibzsnes]

how do u use it?

[dbsagacious]

I'm not sure what you mean. Use what?

[andruandspanky]

Nice! 5/5

[bingbangtube]

Whoa! High quality is amazing!
