|
Hi Jarek, does VideoFilePlayer support containers other than avi ? Also which codecs are recommended when transcoding for VideoFilePlayer ? Are there limitations on resolution and such? Thanks. |

| AVI is the primary extension, it contains a lot of formats like XVID which can be played when their codecs are installed. Other formats like MPEG should be also possible when their codecs are in the system. |

| Good good. And as far as codecs go, I've noticed that changing the frame-rate dynamically needs to be rate-limited because it causes some \"millisecond pausing\" in the audio/video playback. Would you like to recommend any specific encoding/codecs which work particularly well to minimize such side effects? |

| I have not experienced something like that (because I don't use this form of feedback), so no, I can't advise. |

| I usually just use audio feedback, but for HEG nIP/pIR I quite like the frame-rate controlled Grand Canyon terrain flight. In this case I recruited RateLimiter-250ms with mpeg2 video and it works fine. There are a LOT of codecs available for avi so if anyone else has encoding recommendations then please do post. Cheers =) |
