offering multiple video resolution options?
Posted: Tue Oct 23, 2012 9:22 pm
Related to same website for which I've asked a hosting query, but I'd rather keep this as a separate topic.
What are the views on how many different video formats and resolutions you should offer for each video?
Using Freemake as an example, you could end up with a page full of formats if you provided for each possible format/resolution combination!
What is a happy medium to provide these days?
e.g.
1 higher res to cover PCs, laptops and tablets
1 lower res to cover smartphones, handhelds
Formats offered: WMV, MPEG and Quicktime
That would mean 6 different video download options per video. Is that overkill, or is too many options never a bad thing?
The original video is recorded in full AVCHD Camcorder format.
Cheers
