General Video Guide
Below you'll find an installation and usage guide for optimizing and playing videos through various types of players, including external and built-in options. This guide includes recommendations for video sizes, using the conversion tool HandBrake, and considerations to ensure the best video experience.
Understanding Video Playback
Video playback is a complex process affected by several critical factors:
- Video Size: The size of the video directly influences the efficiency and quality of playback.
- Player Type: The type of player (external or built-in) plays a crucial role.
- Player Capacity: How powerful the player is, and how many elements it can simultaneously process.
Optimizing Video for the Web
To ensure smooth and effective video playback on the web, it is recommended to convert and optimize all videos:
- Maximum File Size: Up to 990 MB for external players like Windows, and up to 100 MB for built-in players in LG and Sony screens.
- Conversion Tool: Use HandBrake, recommended by NordicScreen, for conversion and optimization. HandBrake can be downloaded here: HandBrake
Guide to Using HandBrake
1. Download and Installation:
- Follow the installation instructions to install the program on your computer.
2. Configuring HandBrake for Video Conversion:
- Open HandBrake and import the video you want to convert.
- Press "Web Optimized" to optimize the video for web playback.
- If you do not need the sound in the video, we recommend removing the audio track to also reduce the video's size in megabytes.
- Start the conversion process and wait until it is completed.
3. Test Video:
- Test the converted video on the intended player to ensure that the quality and playback are as expected.
