Ubuntu Podcast #30

July 7th, 2009 boredandblogging

With Firefox 3.5 out, I decided to give the much discussed video codecs a try. Ubuntu Podcast #30 is a bit over 50 minutes long, at 640×360. The original video file is over 500 MB. Using ffmpeg2theora, the OGV is around 180 MB. Not bad.

The fallbacks seems to work ok. IE visitors see the embedded flash player, Safari users can watch the video with Quicktime.

Playback on a 1.6 ghz machine with 1.5 GB RAM seems a bit choppy at times, but not completely horrible.

Let me know what you guys think.
