Blogcast how-to: Recorder Settings for Windows Media Encoder

You mention that it is most important to reduce the display settings down to 8x6@16, but don't explain why. Is that in order to reduce the hit on the CPU as WM encoder is very process intensive?

Karan
It's important for a few reasons - first to stop frames being dropped due to the large amount of information if the colour depths or screen size is larger, and also to ensure that the final file-size is kept to as reasonable as possible. Yes, encoding is very resource intensive both disk i/o and CPU.

There's not many demo's which should need more than 800x600. It also means that when users are viewing blogcasts on a 1024x768 display, they can run Windows Media Player and still see the recording at its full size.

Hope this makes sense.
John.

John, thanks for posting this entry. I'm planning on doing a number of BlogCasts and you've helped make it a lot easier.

John,

I really appreciate your post. I have noticed that when I am in the office, the blogcast looks fine, but when I am home the video is off. How do you compensate for those people that may not have a great video card?

Thanks!

Brian

Hi Brian. Nice website you've put up by the way :-) By coincidence, someone inside Microsoft asked me only that question a couple of days ago, and as I result I was investigating with a variety of machines I have at home. It seems the answer lies in the video card drivers - one particular card (pretty old now) although it didn't give spectacular viewing, the latest drivers made a huge improvement. Also, have you confirmed its not a bandwidth issue by saving the .wmv locally rather than pulling it off the net? Just a couple of thoughts - hope they help.
Regards,
John.
