The results from Google Video are in, and it doesn't look good, after finally serving up the Techsmith video. Turns out that GV compress and resize the hell out of them while transcoding: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-9200651367034248229&hl=en The full window mode is unwatchable, try "original" size for a laugh compared to the original file. So I guess it's better to transcode and host any embedded versions our selves. -- Anders Dahnielson <an...@da...> |
