So that still means using your own hosting site and your own code to present it if you want to go higher quality. I am totally sick and tired of experimenting with lousy Flash system which is changed more often than I change my socks so I stick to MS system of wmv files via WMPlayer.
I have one such video of the Cairns 2012 Eclipse this week and it really needs at least 1500 Kbps [with 128 Kbps audio in that 1500] to do justice, especially when viewed full screen, so that is how I rendered my video in MovieMaker2.6.
But whenever I go up to such speed I get problems with Packet Loss and streaming rarely goes above 1000 Kbps, that is hosting at an American Host [EASYCGI] for viewing in Australia. But if I host the same video at my Australian ISP [iiNet or Ozemail] I get up to 5000 Kbps, so no problems at all.
I would love to get feedback from Americans on this issue and I fully expect the INVERSE to be true, ie the American Host will be fast and the Oz one slow.
Here are screenshots [use right mouse on video and select Statistics, Advanced].
American host [showing about 800 Kbps]
Australian host [showing about 3000 Kbps]
Here is American video
Here is Australian video
Many thanks to anyone who might try this test
From the USA, I got about 2500 on the American version and about 8000 on the Australian version. Non-intuitive, but the Australian video is faster.
ReplyDeleteThanks Blaine, you ARE a Considerate Guy - lol, so looks like Pacific Ocean is not the issue. It might explain why Oz Host better for both by confirming [from iiNet] that barely anybody actually USES the free 1 gb web space that comes with their email account [ISP service], so pipes are almost empty.
