everything works fine in Safari on Mac (Snow Leopard). nice update!

Hum... are you sure the upload page is still working?

I uploaded a video (Space: 1999 / Defence Force) yesterday around noon, was in position 6th in the queue, and it is still not there. And the "newest" list has not changed since yesterday either.

When I uploaded Save The Earth last year, I was like in 10th position or something, but it was super fast.

yay web 3.0 Capped :)

neuropol would be even better than neo sans!

Video previews and all works great in Opera 10.60

Freaking awesome! Nice work!

the sound in uf:resistance is completely off. I'm not sure whether it is the player or the encoding.

Fixed a lot of things and also added HTML5 playback to browsers supporting h.264/MP4. But since performance in the browsers I tested has been lackluster, there's a link on the bottom once again to turn it off and stay strictly on flash.

Any idea what's up with the asd/wind under wings video? It plays smoothly but glitches like hell in html5, and looks correct but plays slowly in flash. I'm on osx 10.6.4 / safari 5.0.1. The medium quality version plays fine, it's just the HQ version.

psonice - I have a feeling both flash and safari can't keep up with the video.. Capped High-quality vids tend to be rather high in decoding requirements..

As well, that particular demo really pushes a video codec to it's limit, and decoding it chews cpu quite readily. So the combo of that + the high decoding requirements is probably causing it.

[Flash tends to slow down and skips whole blocks when it lags behind, while safari I assumes just skips over single frames to keep up, which isn't quite a good idea since it'll screw up frames down the line as you're probably witnessing]

I'm not sure though. Any other videos cause that problem..?

New:

- Actual prod information on the video pages
- Some extra polish and layout fixes
- Made HTML5 playback off by default due to issues in safari and otherwise

I updated the HTML5 and flash fallback player [turn html5 mode on]. Feel free to test it out and let me know what you think. <3

Also when I first put the new html5 video lib in, the fallback flash player would play videos at a slower fps. I put some hacks in to hopefully fix that until the lib devs do.

mick: whats the reason why im still getting the "about flash player" and other flash context menu entries with the right mouse click after switching to the html5 player?
now i know nothing much about web design and maybe its a browser thing (ff4b6) but when i visit the players demopage the videos there dont show flash in the context thingie.

wysiwtf - firefox doesn't support h.264, so it goes to flash anyway.

haha, medal :D

I'm looking for feature and improvement requests. <3

Toss them to me.


Also comments on bitrate/streaming speed/etc is also appreciated. I'm really pushing bandwidth with recent videos, so some comments on that would be ideal too

I would like to submit videos with a higher framerate but flash doesn't seem to manage much more than 30fps at 720p smoothly.
It doesn't make much sense to use a 60hz-capture for those smaller-bitrate-versions either.
So it would be nice to provide two captures, eg one at 30 and another one at 60 fps.

how about an option to nearestpoint upscale videos captured from dosbox?

hfr - flash -should- be able to pump out 60fps for 720p and beyond.. but sometimes drawing it to a browser window and otherwise kinda slows it up. Capped attempts to use a window-mode of direct [goes right to the OS and bypasses the browser], but I kinda have to hack in that param with the new player library. :P

..I could provide a 60fps and 30fps version of videos, but that'll be a bit down the line. I'm at the point where I'm starting to need more disk space on the main server. :) The disk space and additional encoding requirements are stopping that idea for now, plus it'll get confusing fast offering so many video versions to select from.

Definitely on my longer-term to-do list though. Will probably toss some code for that in with my soonish encoder and uploader updates.

Gargaj - Aye.. That's planned as per your suggestion earlier. :) Will include that in encoder and uploader updates that should be rolled out sometime before the year's end.

can we upload videos with the dosbox codec? (zmbv or whatever)

Yes.

D:\Capped\Encoders>ffmpeg -codecs
[-snip-]
DEV D zmbv Zip Motion Blocks Video
[-snip-]

I'd keep the video-versions as they are now (high, medium & low quality) and just use the high-fps version as "high" and the normal-fps version as "medium".

Neat!
