So I've been wanting to do this for a while - but I think I've found a way to encode HQ mpeg-4 videos for you guys. I want to test it out by releasing an updated, remixed version of my video "Rise Of An Empire."

http://www.sendspace.com/file/j0dyqe

The video settings are now:
H.264 (MPEG-4)
720x480
41MB

A few things notes:
- This is an updated version with some new footage, clips, and slightly new ending
- The video resolution is MUCH larger than my typical releases
- The video quality is MUCH better
- The download size is still around the same in terms of size

Please let me know what you think of the quality, resolution and size. Your input will determine the quality for all my future releases

Please respond to this video with your thoughts.

Thanks as always - LD2k

Video looks great.

I think MTL also releases his mixes in MPEG-4.

The resolution, size, and quality look great. You should release all your future mixes in MPEG-4.

They have been - except now I'm using some HD-esque conversions... I think Nugget won't be behind me screaming in my ear to catch up with the 21st century anymore...

Also, I upscaled the video.

My highlights are capped in 640x480 (or I should say compressed in mpeg2). I think because it upscaled it has the stripes... I'll compress a version in that size - that will take care of it (since there won't be any upscaling). So basically, I might release them in 640x480.

The sample video is great. Too bad the resolution might be compromised, otherwise it will be better. FPS is right there at about 30...way to go.

I downloaded the video, but I can't seem to get it play. I've tried just about every media player on my computer. Am I doing something wrong?

You lack the codecs. And yes, VLC is your best answer.
