Guidelines when encoding your videos for playback in Navori QL

Here are a few simple guidelines when preparing video material for playback in Navori QL.

  • Do not exceed 10 Mbps.  You're just asking your PCs to work harder at rendering the file and there is no visible advantage at playback.
  • For best performance you can encode the files in AVC1/MP4 or H.264
  • Do not use the FLV format as it is known to cause memory leaks that will eventually affect playback and could cause crashes.
  • Do not re-encode files because this will cause all sorts of issues.  For example, file size will increase and playback quality will significantly decrease.  Always go back to the original uncompressed content and work down from there.
  • 720p files (normal HD quality) play very well on older Intel Atom based PCs while 1080p files (full HD quality) are probably better used on higher end PC equipment.
  • It's probably best to stay away from proprietary codecs like DivX as they can be unreliable.
