Video playback updated
The ModDB video system has just been overhauled. Better quality and playback.
Posted by INtense! on Nov 26th, 2008 digg this super bookmark
The bitrate of encoded video on ModDB has been increased by 32k and audio by 16k - which should marginally improve the playback quality of NEW video files uploaded (old files will not be re-rendered). We plan on continually upping the bitrate until we hit HD quality. Also bigger news is the launch of a new media player which you can see below. I think you'll agree the new player is sexier - best of all we now support proper streaming so you can seek to different parts of the video (you have already buffered) without the "loading delay" the old player suffered. Check it out:

Very cool, can't wait for HD!
cool it is!
nice thing, i was waiting for proper streaming ages ago! Good job!
(now remove the style tab and the flash content :P)
Great job on the player!! I didn't get the 'Loading' animation not even once!
Awesome dude! ModDB is the shit! :-D
Very nice. Big improvement over the old player.
EXCELLENT!
Awesome work!
Good stuff. If there's one thing that annoys the absolute crap out of me it's dodgy flash players that don't work properly.
Even Moddb's player beforehand seemed to work okay but this is a good improvement so well done!
Reminds me of Vimeo's player.

I like it. :D
I noticed on that video last night. Great work. I dont mind not having 720P, 940P or 1080P, since those are just great for TVs.
looking forward to HD
man that game looks freaky :D.
not bad :)
Unfortunately for ModDB, Youtube has just upped their video standards to allow for 720P video, and it's currently the best offering out of any video sites.
doubt it...
Why is it that full screen mode is no longer available?
Never mind that, it was apparently a problem with Internet Explorer, I got Firefox and have not encountered a problem yet :D
sweet, great quality...
and yeah, why no Fullscreen?
