Creating thumbnails in Sorenson Squeeze Desktop is helpful when you need a placeholder to appear on a blog or website before your streaming video plays. We’ll discuss this in part 8 of our “Encoding with Squeeze Desktop Series”. Some scenarios where you might use a thumbnail are when embedding videos using YouTube, posting an image on a Twitter post, or using one of the popular media players such as: THEOPlayer, Bitmovin HTML5 Player, JW Player, or FlowPlayer. When you’re creating a thumbnail all you want to do is capture a still frame at some point in your video. Squeeze Desktop […]

On-line Stream Testers are helpful for configuring Live and On-demand Streams. One of the keys to creating great experiences with web video is to do great QA testing before making streams available. The great news is there are many great HTML5 testers available for verifying HLS, MPEG-DASH, and Progressive streams. It’s not as important to test Flash streams these days since that’s not as prevelent. I’ve gathered a few stream testers to assist you on your projects. Here are the links: Bitmovin HTML5 Player: https://bitmovin.com/hls-mpeg-dash-test-player/ JW Player: https://developer.jwplayer.com/tools/stream-tester/ THEOplayer: http://demo.theoplayer.com/test-hls-mpeg-dash-stream If you’re interested in learning more about video encoding, compression, […]

Streaming media on-line player experiences need to improve. I often watch many popular websites that have thousands if not millions over viewers, and unfortunately many of these experiences are poor. I image most of this based on the media player experiences being implemented in a post-Flash Streaming, HTML5 browser supported world. Now you can say what want about streaming Flash, but it did have tremendous support and many experiences appeared to be much better as well as consistently reliable. However, the reality is that the days of Flash Streaming are almost over adaptive options such as HLS and MPEG-DASH will […]

WebM Container Format Utilized to delivery VP8 and VP9. The landscape for video formats continues to change, and if you didn’t know, you’ll need to get familiar with WebM. Why? It’s because it’s one of the formats available for HTML5 video delivery. When you hear of HTML5 supported browsers, it means those browsers support WebM in addition to other HTML5 video formats I’ll discuss at another time. As it relates to WebM, it’s a container much like .MOV, and .MP4 are containers. The WebM container supports video codecs such as VP8 and VP9. Audio codecs that are supported within the […]
