portable?
* Apple does not support it
* Microsoft does not support it
* many mobile devices does not support it
* most hardware-devices does not support it
don't get me wrong, i owuld love to have VP8 in the position H264
is, but since it's part of my daily job to write software which
supports most to all clients with videos that's not how the world
works for at least some years from now
I was typing a reply to my post commenting on the same issue, Ed's script is
quite useful, but but I did resize the the frames down to something suitable for
mobile, my original was TV capture at 1920x1080, mp4 was about 21MB/min, vs.
1500k/min at 720x480.
Even on a tablet that looks acceptable for many things, and until I trade my
tf300 for a tf700 and get new glasses, it will do.
