[...] Fixing network Priority in Windows : Win7 UpdateI was having a terrible problem with what almost felt like QoS when at a hotel this week. My GMail persistence was terrible, but my VPN tunnel traffic to work was fine. Turns out that each of my network adapters was in the opposite order it should have been. I re-ordered them and things felt a LOT more even-keeled. [...]

That should be a good balance of quality vs. bandwidth, as long as you’re viewing it at its native size. With H.264 how well it scales will depend a lot on the encoder you use.

In terms of bandwidth usage, also remember that cloudfront allows you to distribute s3 videos via streaming instead of progressive download. If people jump around your videos a lot, this could save you some bandwidth costs.

Great post, thanks Ian.

Would you suggest:

Flash Encoding
Video: 320 x 240 @ 30fps
H.264 Baseline 3.0 (200kbs)
Audio: 44Khz Stereo
AAC 56 Kbs

for videos storied S3 for on-demand viewing?

I am new to video and have no idea about these settings. The viewer I plan to use is the same as the one you’re using, the JWPlayer.

Your advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Frank

I notice you encode for both

Which links are you referring to? I just checked all the links on this post, and they’re working.

Hello Ian,

The links are giving me an error. Please say you haven’t taken them down. They are a great resource to all of us.

Thanks,

The RTSP link works on my Nexus One (Android 2.1). I’m also using wowza on ec2 to re-broadcast my live stream. It works fine with the iphone, but on the android with rtsp it only plays audio. Using the same rtsp in VLC, it plays video just fine. From my encoder I am sending wowza h264 baseline level 3.0 with 320×180 resolution. Can you give me some info on the stream you are sending wowza? Thanks!

Also, on tmobile your rtsp link using port 1935 will not work. It only works on wifi, I think tmobile blocks that port. Setting wowza to use the default port for rtsp (554) will allow it to work on the cell network.

Wirecast itself doesn’t support any particular cards… That’s the job of the operating system. In general, the Osprey cards are great value for the money.

I haven’t tried it on a 64-bit OS, but I doubt that would be a problem.

Thank you for the informative post,

regarding wirecast and the osprey 450e … were you running a 64 bit os? how much ra

I’m researching this setup as it would be perfect for my application, although the lack of official support for osprey cards from wirecast and the posts such as yours and telestream forums suggest it may be only wishful thinking.

Any new information you could provide would be appreciated.
