[done] Resolution Question

[webplus]

Mike. I am testing the Pro version I noticed that it was only 320x240. Will the pro version support my HD signal at say 600x338? I will be uploading to USTREAM Pro via Flash Media Encoder. I just want to make sure that VIDBlaster can handle a widescreen 16:9 format before I purchase. Thanks again for your great work.

Eventually I will introduce more resolutions, not exactly which ones will end up in Pro and which ones in Studio, but of course widescreen will be among the first.

Great just wanted to make sure I was not missing something.

I want to make clear that the program accepts any format, either in video clips or cameras, it converts everything to the proper format in real time (now 320*24). I'm sort of waiting which format I will add next, depending on which one has most demand. I bet it will be a widescreen format.

that would be a great option

Hi there,

I agree that a widescreen format would be a real benefit, as most of the new content is already produced in 16:9 or at least provide an option to reencode 16:9 into 4:3 Letterbox.

VidBlaster should scale and letterbox already. If not, please create a topic under bug reports and explain what you are doing and what happens. A link to any testing material would help.

Which widescreen format would you like to see first, 320*180 or 427*240? Don't forget bandwidth issues if you want to stream..

I don't know if it is possible but I would love a save file res of 640x480 (full screen) and 640x352 (widescreen) as this is standard for the iPods and thus great for podcasting... I doubt that this res will work currently for streaming though.

I will only gradually increase resolution. First of all it is not interesting for streaming, second these higher resolutions will demand faster PCs. I am still thinking about how to prevent crashed PCs because users have a slow PC and select a highres mode. Even though the program is fine, it may get a bad name because of this. One of the results of this thinking process is the CPU Usage window I introduced in v0.30. I am now evaluating if this helps.

So, gradual increase in resolution. Hence the two choices I offered above.

PS: the iPod Video uses 320*240.

I think that it would be great to have the choice, so that I can set it depending on the computer. audience requirments etc would be great.
