Has anyone tried using rev to playback 720p sized mpeg video? was
toying with the idea of trying it with rev and quicktime to see if rev
and quicktime could handle this with any robustness. hd mpeg playback
solutions out there have a lot of limitations if you want to try and
control them. The idea would be to just run a simple rev application
on a mac mini that would just play back 720p60 mpeg files via controls
set to it by tcpip from another computer.
the mpeg playback solutions out there have several limitations. there
are simpler systems based on flash memory that you can send serial
commands to control, but the compact flash storage limits the amount
of video you can store. Hard drived based mpeg players dont have any
control apis that you can access to tell them what to play when. there
is one option, the adtec edge 4111, but its very expensive and a bit
clunky on the software side.
The advantages to the mpeg boxes is that most of them will just keep
playing back files all day long and never lock up. downside is control
is missing on most, limited storage on some, and flavors of mpeg files
they will use is limited and playback color/detail is variable.
the advantage to a rev solution would be total control and access to
all the flavors of h264 mov compression to get great quality and good
sizes w/o having to go through a lot of hoops. downside is not sure
how well the system would hold up to getting playback requests all day
long.
just wondering if anyone has torture tested rev playback like this of
larger movie files with quicktime on the mac.
cheers,
jeff reynolds
