Post news Report RSS Video playback updated

The ModDB video system has just been overhauled. Better quality and playback.

Posted by on

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:

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!

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.

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.
