Femme Fatalities Message Board

Hi There,
This is a very simular post I made months ago... it is asking if some of you folks out there are having problems playing MPEG2 clips.
(Seems to be mostly from MAC users)
Femmefatalities started with MPEG1 and now only uses MPEG2 format video clips.
A sample of which is below.

So...IF YOU HAVE ANY PROBLEMS LET ME KNOW.
PLUS!!!... please give any helpful advice for folks who are having problems playing them.
YOUR FEEDBACK IS VERY WELCOMED.

Thanks G

Here is a great belly stabbing scene as a sample.

downloaded fine, triggered my VLC player and played just fine out here in "cow contry" on a motel WiFi connection.

G-Man, It played just fine on my WMP.

Gman:
I went back to MPEG1 for converting DV avi's while keeping the standard DV resolution of 720 X 480. I use a video bit rate of about 3,000 Kbps or more for the compression setting. I make it a "frame based" clip vs. field based as frame based plays better on computers.

I didn't find any huge benefit with MPEG2.
BTW, The file properties in media player says your file is 480 x 480 resolution, but it looks more like 720 x 480 in the window. I don't know why that discrepency is there. But the video played fine for me. Looks like they used a pig's belly for the close up stabbing scenes...LOL.

For people who have problems playing MPEG2, DVD players such as Roxio and Power DVD will play MPEG2 clips.
