Re: They suck
said by SND2005  :
Hardly, Microsofts codecs for HD content kick the living crap out of anything Quicktime or Real could hope to produce.
Considering that's only for HD content... Other than that, WMP is a poor format. I know, I've worked with just about all of them for audio and video.
And even then, Quicktime has not released an HD version of the QT codec yet, so you are comparing apples to oranges. When Quicktime's HD codec comes out, it will probably trump WMP.

| The compression ratio for WMP is about all that's in its favor... Artifacting, distortion, etc. happen much more with in than with other codecs, excluding Real. Realplayer's codec is probably the worst I've seen when it comes to problems like artifacting and distortion.

What bandwidth settings have you been using?? If you put 1.5 megabit bandwidth for audio/video streaming when encoding, the quality is very very good! |

join:2003-02-16 | Yeah, that's what I use. For some reason the supposedly higher quality settings have lower bitrates. But I use the encoding designed for streaming to 1.5 megabit connections, pretty much the highest quality possible with WMV format. |

I've worked with several different bandwidth settings. It depends on what was needed and how much bandwidth the server it was going to had...
