Whats the best CURRENT option for web delivery

[C.M. de la Vega]

I've noticed that when I encode with the H.264 or On2 VP6 codecs, the audio stream lags behind the video...

It could be my settings - I'm not an expert, but any help on figuring out this problem would be greatly appreciated.

All the contenders are neck and neck: Flash 8, Quicktime 7, Windows Media 9.

What do you create them with? Are there any samples online?

Emre,

Here's an example: http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...01912991&hl=en

You'll notice the sync problems with the gun shots and punching scenes and midway there's a shot with 2 kids. I synced up a "BAM" when the kid on the right hits the cap of the kid on the left.

I've tried Sorenson Squeeze and Super to render flv's, mp4's, or avi's with H.264 codec so I can upload the best quality video to youtube.

I assume it's a setting that's causing the sync problem, but I haven't figured it out yet.

I don't know. They looked pretty synchronized to me. How are you doing the synchronization, by ear? Are you using ASIO drivers? Besides, it is normal to see something slightly before you hear it as light travels faster than sound.

I'm a little worried about progressive playback (fake streaming), but we'll see how it plays out...

I checked out every reply to web delivery and not one gives me step by step settings for Vegas 7 to render video for the web. Can anybody help please?

So, what is it you were trying to do?

***How to make your first web video***
From the timeline of a completed project, select file | render as.
Select Windows Media Video 9, perhaps the 300Kbps template. Render it.
Open up the result and see how you like it in windows media player.
Load it on a web server and link to it from a web page - done!

***Advanced lessons***
Optimizing video for the web.
Encoding to various sizes and bitrates.
Encoding to various codecs.
Coding of embedded players for web pages.
Download, progressive download, streaming.
Custom players.

There is no one answer for web delivery - there are no standards.

Windows Media provides best quality for a given bitrate for streaming or progressive download, but isn't for all situations.

Most QT downloads then plays, and tends to be capturable by the user.

Real has decent quality and a free server but many ads, and a dwindling user base.

Flash is most fashionable, most compatible across mac/pc/linux/unix but costs more money to create, and also more to stream (vs. progressive download). And you'll need some code to make a player.

Some users have 56Kbps modems, some have 1.5Mbps access.

Note also the web delivery and dvd forum on dvinfo.

Thanks for the help. I will try it out.
