Title: Flv files downloaded fom YouTube don't look very well when played in MC12
Post by: Sudin36 on February 29, 2008, 12:01:52 pm

Currently, the flv files that I download from YouTube don't look very well when played in MC12 (and sometimes they don't play smoothly).   The quality of the picture gets worse when I zoom to fill the entire screen.  I'm using the flv filters in ffshow.   Are there better filters for flv?  Or, should I tried converting the files to another format? -- if so, whick one and how?   Thank you.

How do I post a YouTube file?   An example of a file that I've problems with is the downloaded Michael Jackson's,  'Remember the Time' video.  When the display is view small the quality is much better than when I view this video in full screen.  Also, there's a very noticable delay when I click on Close Display.

Right click on it to "copy shortcut" (in IE).

YouTube videos are generally pretty poor quality.  So if you blow them up large, it may not look great.

I don't know if my reply was deleted or  never got posted, but anyway I use this tool to download and convert to MOV. It's pretty good and it's free...
