Preparing XPilot videos for publication on YouTube etc.
Posted: Sun May 30, 2010 3:36 pm
To increase the popularity of XPilot, we need to publish more recordings on popular video services like YouTube or Google Video. But this is not so easy.
XPilot recordings use an own vector format. Any recording can be saved as a set of bitmaps (one per frame) and then put together into a video. If a lossless codec is used, the result will inevitably consume a lot of disk space. On the other hand, lossful codecs can significantly degrade the quality of vector pictures, especially text. All the most popular video services require input which is encoded with lossful codecs. That's why the goal of this thread is to come up with the best available way to encode single frames and then combine them.
