x96.in - HD snippet sharing

x96x96
edited January 2014 in Showcase
Hello,
I would like to show you the site I built over the last few days using cumulus.
It's still a test platform.

The videos played in JW player are downscaled to 720p, a download link to the original full HD file is provided underneath each video.
I have made some adjustments to make it look different, it wasn't really hard and everybody with a knodwledge of HTML/CSS and a little PHP should be able to do it.

The main reason why I'm posting this here is for you to see that you can build a HD video website using cumulus and that it's pretty simple to modify it to fit your needs. I have done some ffmpeg testing and in my opinion the results are pretty good. I really like cumulusclips and it would be nice if there were more theme/plugin developers in the future.

If you experience loading/buffering problems or got questions/suggestions please don't hesitate to contact me.

I am still trying to find the best settings for quality without buffering.. I think this video is a good compromise:

    Great job. The transcoding techniques using FFMPEG are very good. It really shows in the videos' excellent quality.

    If you do not mind can you share what are the changes you made on the ffmpeg line

    I am using these ffmpeg settings:

    -vf 'scale=1280:trunc(ow/a/2)*2' -ac 2 -ab 128k -ar 44100 -f flv -vcodec libx264 -crf 26

    I don't know if libx264 is supported by shared hosters and I think it's slower but my vserver manages it pretty well.
    The last number is important for the quality/file size. I found its best to use something between 24 and 28.
