AW: AW: AW: [OT]h.264 alternatives

[Tiemo Hollmann TB]

Hi Warren,
thanks for your ideas.
It might be, that I am using any special encoding option. Since I don't have
one of those incompatible devices, I can't test it out easily, but if it get
worse, I'll have to investigate it deeper.
I already tried other codecs for encoding with Sorenson squeeze, but didn't
found any other codec, which creates so small files, as the Sorenson 2-pass
VBR codec. With this codec I could shrink the videos of my app to 2 GB, all
other tested codecs resulted at least with 4 GB, what is a not tolerable
increase of storage on a smartphone. So up to now I stay with the Sorenson
codec and have some customers, who can't use my app.

Sigh!

Tiemo,

Is it possible that you selected encoding options that the decoder couldn't
handle? That is to say it's not - might not be - that Sorenson isn't
compatible per se, but that you have to select options which are compatible?
This has always been an issue. There may also be issues with the container.
You have to select a conservative profile and the right audio format for
maximum compatibility. I would encourage you to look into this. Obviously,
this assumes these devices have some kind of h264 capability. Many flaming
hoops to jump through...

Warren
