Video quality stinks now

[poon007]

With the new trendy update to the site it seems that the overall video quality is way below the standard of the prior shows. Diggnation on full screen is not a crisp as it was. WHY? Pixel Perfect was also sub-par compared to past shows. WHY?

Is Louderback cutting corners with the distribution of shows by Rev3? Has anyone else seen a image quality reduction since the update to the site?

Hmm, I actually noticed an increase in quality on the flash version.

I have noticed no difference and think you need to be more specific what version of the show you are watching it on and what device used or browser and such.

I use FF browser and watch it on Quicktime HD.


Sidenote what is with the weird members with names in Grey and says where post count should be "n/a" ?

I have noticed the flash player has gotten much better.

I agree, we need more info. Laying a blanket statement of "video quality is worse" isn't helpful.

I have noticed more pixelation with the Quicktime HD on Diggnation and TRS. Playing it on my PS3 onto a 42 inch LCD.

I don't notice much difference this week but I do have to say their so-called HD videos aren't really high def. They need to make the bitrate higher, at least somewhere around 4Mbps. Most other podcasts (not Rev3) are fine with HD quality.

Poon, without being a registered member, how on earth are you posting?

Sorry, I can't find the similar thread to this one which I was gonna post in. I'll jump in here.

The large wmv downloads have got worse tho the point that the occasinal show is corrupt! It's not my player, I've used The KMPlayer, VLC and Windows Media Player.

I would download another version anyways (XviD if I could) but I don't have an option to right-click here (public access), so can I ask if it would be possible to have any of the downloads force a popup when left-clicked on. How difficult would that be for you to implement?
