settings for best possible video quality?

[jbarros]

hello everyone,

I'm locked into streaming 768kb/s video and 128kb/s audio.

I'm checking out the sdk because Sorenson Squeeze, which uses VP6 makes amazing quality video, but we can't batch it. However, trying to duplicate it with the SDK is proving difficult for me.

Right now, FFMPEG using the older codec is actualy producing better video for a given bitrate than on2. I know this is an issue with my settings because I've seen what on2 is capable of.

Please advise.

Thanks :)

I'm currently using the following settings:

SimpleSet('audio_options_SetFlvAudioFormat', FlvAudioMp3);
SimpleSet('audio_options_SetSamplingrate', Hertz44100);
SimpleSet('audio_options_SetBitrate', Bitrate128kbps);

SimpleSet('video_options_SetVideoCodec', CODEC_VP6);
SimpleSet('video_options_SetRateControlType', VBR_2PASSControl);
SimpleSet('video_options_SetCompressMode', COMPRESSMODE_BEST);

SimpleSet('video_options_SetImageWidth', 480);
SimpleSet('video_options_SetImageHeight', 360);


SimpleSet('video_options_SetKeyframeInterval', 50);
SimpleSet('video_options_SetKeyframeIntervalType', MAX_KEYFRAMES);
SimpleSet('video_options_SetMaximumBitrate', Bitrate768kbps);
SimpleSet('video_options_SetUseMaximumBitrate', on2true);

SimpleSet('video_options_SetKeyframeIntervalType', MAX_KEYFRAMES);
SimpleSet('video_options_SetMaximumBitrate', Bitrate768kbps);
SimpleSet('video_options_SetUseMaximumBitrate', on2true);

Isn't this stuff depricated now? Anyone provide an example of the new technique in action?
