Just a suggestion: You are currently using a completely outdated codec for your HD-wmv files (WMV2). Even with the 5GB file for the new Dido&Kari scene there's loooots of block building.

You would be able to get better video quality with lower file size if you'd switch to some reasonably modern codec like H264.

Amigo don't you see there are both possibilities ? WMV and MP4 ( H264 ) ???

Pierre, you right with WCX, but at WUNF there are only WMVs to download.

Right, I thought there was both but finally not ! Anyway the quality of the preview are in high quality 480p or 1080 p presentation with possibility to download in HD format compressed to 8000 m/bs which is not so commun on the web as far I know !!!
I'm looking about the general value of putting also in Wunf the H264, that myself I prefer to the WMV.

With a bad codec the bitrate doesn't matter that much - 8MB/sec with WMV2 is way worse than 4MB/sec with H264.

Maybe you could offer H264-coded files at WUNF as well - just as you do on CSX?

You're right twice better and that's the reason why It's on the way and will started next week ! My original compressions are in H264 8Mb/s has you can see on this screen capture I did just now : but on Wunf we do 480 720 and 1080 quality compression again in order to give a maximim of customers the possibility to download fast ( the pirates are also happy ! )

Hello Pierre,
I'm back again as a full member, and having a look at your new videos.
Your standard is always great, thanks for your work. I have to say that it is a pleasure for me to download from the official site, I do not care about pirates (which you just mentioned).
May I just ask one thing?
Would it be possible to download the 720 version of the files? The 1080 version is 10 times larger than the 480 version, I think an internediate one (as it was before, and just like the one available for streaming) would be a very good option.
Thanks in avance
Cheers

pierre, do you mean next week you will start only with new updates with new codec or you will also replace the older files?

It was concerning the new way to watch video already 1 year ago ...

are all HD videos now at WUNF with the new codec H264 available?
