Hi all,
this is more a general question rather than being Trisquel specific. Driven
by the recent woes about lib-ray I decided to evaluate WebM videos in HD a
bit. I encoded videos in multiple resolutions (720p / 1080p) from multiple
sources (HD cam, Youtube, sat streams).
The issue I experienced: The video often stutter when played back in the
browser (Abibrowser, Chromium, Firefox) while they perfectly play back when
using a standalone media player (e.g. VLC or Mplayer). This happens on two
different systems (Trisquel 5.5 x64 with Abibrowser and Xubuntu x64 11.04
with Chromium and Firefox). I should note that on both systems the hardware
load is not at maximum. So stuttering is not a result of 100% CPU usage. I
verified it on both systems using top.
Has someone of you experimented with WebM lately ? What are your experiences
when using Youtube HD streams in WebM ?
Thanks for any input !
