playing videos

[KryptoS]

Hey,

I'm playing some videos. The user can chose different resolutions (low, medium or high). When I play the video with low resolution with media player the size of the video is small. But when I play it in high resolution I see the video larger. But I want always the same size of video. How can I do this? I thought that when I set my object width en height always the same that this would work. But it won't . I have the same problem when I want to play the video with quicktime.

Maybe I'm missing the point... But isn't the point of having a higher resolution image/video/anything just that - that its resolution is higher, and thus it will be bigger?

The solution to the problem is going to be to resize all your videos to the same same (at source) - then they will all play in the same width/height.

Maybe what you are after is different quality movies that are the same (physical) width and height (maybe compressed with different algorithms). In which case... you need to make sure the software you use to re-sample the movies always sets the same width and height (in pixels).

The point is that the quality is better. But not the size of the image/video/...


Any idea what software I need to use?

When talking about digital images or digital video, that are created from pixels, if the resolution is higher (so, say 640x480 instead of 320x200), the image (or video) will be clearly be bigger.

Jeff may well have it - you could be confusing the resolution of the image/video with the quality (with regard to compression and file size).

You can resample videos using Cleaner (available from

http://www.discreet.com)

- however it is a professional (Hollywood) package, and costs $$$$... I don't know of any cheaper ones, but try searching on Tucows.
