Compression Quality
|
Question: What's the difference between the Good, Better and Best
compression settings, and how do they relate to scalability?
|
Indeo®. The setting is independent of scalability; it controls the compression algorithm. The best compression mode gives the best quality video but requires a more powerful processor for playback. Given adequate processor power and system resources, quality improves significantly from good to best compression settings. |
|
Question: I've been compressing clips with Indeo® video interactive, and
my results are not as good as they were with Indeo video Release 3.2. Why?
|
Indeo video interactive requires a more powerful processor, such as a fast Pentium® processor, and more memory, especially when running under Windows* 95. |
|
Question: What is scalable quality and what does the scalability
compression setting do?
|
Earlier versions of Indeo® video dropped frames when video decompression requirements surpassed the capacity of the system. Instead of dropping frames, Indeo video interactive can gradually reduce image quality as demands on the system exceed the available capacity. Reducing the image quality decreases the system resources required to play back the video without dropping frames completely. |
