video codecs and solutions desired
By admin | March 8, 2007
Hey their Internet video codec gurus,
I am seeking methods to display screencasts (tutorials made for my computer screen) inside of my Wordpress posts. I found a few plug-ins that allow video to play within posts but my problem is in the creating and converting of content.
I am using CamStudio to create a screen cast and I’m trying to use the H.264 codec but my files are saving is AVI type. I’d upload the content to Google video, like the one here on this page, but the format comes out crappy since the video gets compressed.
I am seeking a solution to either store video on my own server in a streamable mpeg format (or some other format) that is not bandwidth hungry, relatively small in file size, and will stream quickly. Any input from the world of tech media gurus is appreciated. 
I’d like to be able to display videos like the one above in a larger screen format (I’ll put them on a different Wordpress site that has a wide content column) but I could use some help figuring out which codecs to use, which file type to save as (so I can stream), as well as what ever other stuff I missing or forgetting.
