Id like to get a much firmer idea of what the minimum spec computer is needed to play 320x240 H264 at 15,25,30 fps and bitrates around the 700-800kbits/sec mark.
I have access to an array of differently aged Windows PCs at work, so if operating system issues dont get in the way, I'll post results from them soon. But the only Macs Ive got access to are a mac mini and 2ghz imac. If I make a suitable test clip, would some people be prepared to try it on older machines? When H264 quicktime first came out, much of the testing related to how badly the high definition apple samples played back on most machines, image quality, and encoding time issues. I dont remember many results about how well 320x240 h264 played back, or people not having qt7 got in the way, and Im eager to get clarity on this issue. For one thing it will enable people to advise others whether it is worth them installing QT7 on their older machines or not, and we can get specific on CPU requirements rather than age of machine which is vague.
