When I experiment, I too always try to visually compare the quality of differently encoded video settings. In general, you can't get any better output quality (appearance) than what you original videos were at, but one can definitely increase filesize by picking bad output encoding settings.ĪTTO doesn't encode, it just delivers videos. Your encoding settings for your final output could be set too high. It is not odd that a final encoded video might be much larger than the component parts. Your video was converted to 720x480, one of my favorite sizes. Let me know if you want me to try Camtasia.

I am confident that I could have brought your video into Camtasia, re-encoded it, and that it would work. Your struggles remind me of a problem that I had with mp4s awhile ago, that the 'header' was not correct. It took a lot of experimenting to come up with these, and a balance between quality and filesize (bitrate). These are settings that I experimented with awhile ago and have been using for some time. Video Settings: Format= H.264, Framerate=30, Field Order=Progressive, Aspect=Square, TV Standard = NTSC, Profile = Hight, Level = 3.1, Render at Maximum Depth, Bitrate Encoding = VBR, 2pass, Target Bitrate = 2Mbps, Maximum Bitrate = 2Mbps, Key Frame Distance = 75.Īudio Settings: Format=AAC, Sample Rate = 32000, Channels = mono, Audio Quality = High, Bitrate = 32 kbps, Precedence = Bitrate Then, I exported it using my favorite Premiere encoding settings, of which there are many. (I have the Creative Cloud product, and the latest Premiere, but I bet any of my old versions of Premiere would have worked because I have been doing this, working with MP4s, for around 8 years.) Yes, I brought your video into my Adobe Premiere on my Mac. So whatever you used to do the screen capture (assuming that's how it was created) probably needs some conversion to make the video HTML 5 ready/compatible. Note among other characteristics the diff in bit rate as well as audio Used a video converter application which has pre-setting for MP4's but web (html5) compatible and the converted video now: Used command line ffmpeg (which could convert videos) to inspect video info.ĭuration: 00:02:22.35, start: 0.033991, bitrate: 3660 kb/s downloaded your video - which did not play sound (for me).
