I’ll put this out there:
While it’s definitely BETTER looking to do 1920×1080 vidoes, and large DMD videos…. IMO it is overkill for file and CPU/GPU resources.
I have the blu-ray of tron, but I ‘borrowed’ a file from the inter-tubes that was really nicely re-encoded as a 860mb file (1280×720 2ch audio)… what these people get out of those size/ripping is nice.
so here’s a sample 30 second clip: http://www.nailbuster.com/beta/video/TronClip2.mp4
I used ffmpeg to not re-encoded from the file, just simple copy/clip so no loss in clipping.
Now from your desktop 1 foot away you’re going to see a difference between 1920×1080, but on a 32″ backglass at 4 feet away it will be harder.
Now the difference in file size is something. A sample clip from Tron is 26.5 mb for 27 seconds (multiball clip)… this one is 7.6mb for 30 seconds…
that’s 1mb/second at 1920×1080 vs 0.25mb/second (1/4 the size…also the cpu% is lower on playback)
So it’s something to think about…
