Paysite owners, what video formats currently needed? - GoFuckYourself.com

edengay · 10-04-2012, 12:48 AM

Hi,

I would like to know if FLV is still necessary as jwplayer / flowplayer (and some other players) run in html5 MP4 which can be watched on all devices (correct me if I'm wrong).

Also I would like to know if it's a good idea to have only 1 format MP4 in several qualities, or if other formats are still necessary, (WMV MOV FLV).

I mean have MP4 960x540 2000 mbps + MP4 960x540 1000 mbps + MP4 640x360 1500mbps + MP4 640x360 700mbps etc

Thanks for your ideas and advices

I run wmv files for small filesize / fast downloads, and MP4 for HQ, jwplayer with streaming MP4 in my opinion is an absolute must, we are currently adding it to all our sites, it plays on all formats, most importantly tablets which will be the preferred choice of watching porn online.

A lot of people are stuck in their ways and habits or just follow what everyone else has been doing. MP4 is superior. FLV is not needed. You can offer a few different MP4 sizes. If you use a streaming server, it can pull the correct size based on the users BW. Also, with MP4, you can really pinch them down and still have great quality, so you don't need as many versions. Some people still like WMV, I don't know why. We still offer them (1 wmv) in addition to our MP4 because webmasters (and review sites) are not video educated enough to know you don't need them and think your site is bad if you don't have them, yet MP4 plays on PC and MAC and is better quality at a smaller file size.

You will find apple devices will need a fall back html5 player to play your mp4, but that fall back comes built in now to the new players.
