Hi,
I have a PAL DV Widescreen (16:9) speech which I digitized and edited with Kdenlive, and I have a small question:

Which codec do you recommend for streaming?

I'm using H.264 with 1MBit encoding, but the output works really bad on old machines and Atom based Netbooks.
Could someone suggest another Codec to encode which gives good results and works well with Netbooks? I thought about VP6, but I don't see it in kdenlive as an option, only FLV (which codec is being used with the FLV preset?)

Thanks,
Hetz

The FLV Render profile uses the old FLV1 H.263 derivative; FFmpeg does not have a VP6 encoder.

In order to give more advice, please give some specifics about how you want to "stream." For examples, RTSP, an embedded Flash player playing something over HTTP, a link to a video on a HTTP server, an embedded Java Cortado applet playing Ogg Theora? You could just use YouTube or similar; some of these services take into consideration old or low-powered machines.

Hi, thanks for answering.

I'm using the RTMP protocol with a flash player (JW Player) in order to play the file. Youtube is not a good solution as it has a 15 minutes limit (this tape is 90 minutes). I cannot use Java as the customer requires the file would be only allowed to be played with the JW Player.

I'm only asking for codec recommendation.

Provide 2 or more choices: at least one FLV1 and at least H.264.

You should start a new post on the Installation from Binary code part of the forums (found here http://www.kdenlive.org/forum/users-forums/installation-binary-packages).
This current post is to help someone determine a codec that will let them display their work to people on older computers and netbooks.
