High Resolution/High Definition AMVS?

Because resolution is the greatest hint for superb visual quality?
That idea is as retarded as all those shithead "HQ" fansubbers and their even more stupid leechers.

I never said it was, Streicher. You know me better than that. Doesn't mean I wouldn't like the option.

I've got a 720 vid planned...probably going to use the 16:9 flag on it too :3
(and I also have an original source 1080p project planned...unless my machine decides to die)

Still it would just tempt the bad editors to get more hits from making their AMV in "LOL HD". It works with fansubbers, why shouldn't it work with AMVs? Especially if there was a system to search by resolution.
Furthermore how should you know wich version is looking best: 720x576, 848x480, 720x480, 1024x720 1336x720? Right. There is no way to tell. It could be made from youtube source. Or overfiltered fansubs.

And finally: What would be much more helpful, is when the information of a mp4 would be displayed on the Video Profile page. Just as it is with wmv and avi now. I'm not sure if mkv is already working.

As an extra search option it would be nice but I think it would just support LOL HD encodes. And there are already enough bad encodes in normal resolution right now.

At the time of writing anyway, I've already edited two videos in true 720p with sources suited to that resolution* - but neither of them are released yet (one's in beta, though).

*Although the one in beta is a strange case since it's actually a manga video - a lot of the panels were fine or zoomed out on, but on a few of them you can tell I zoomed in rather far. The other one's a short that used the 1600x1200 CG from Ina Koi! and is completely fine as far as not upsampling/zooming-in goes (it was actually the first thing I edited in AFX, period; I also just wanted to see if I could manage to do HD editing on my comp). Not that I can view either of them correctly at that res on the setup I edited them on.

And, the manga video's HD distro version will actually be 720p60 (well, 59.94).

Eh, what the heck, here's the Ina Koi! short:

Erk, well, the one time it does zoom-in on an image it was on one that was set to display smaller anyway (at least I think), so the artifacting doesn't show up.

I just put all my shit in 512x288 (yes, even the upscaled air amv I started yesterday... had to downscale it. I'm with Zero, and even wrote a journal about it, RAPE THEM ALL!!) until I get a real hd source (I mean one that *I* rip off of an HD-DVD or Blue-Ray). THAN I'll actually look into x264 for compression. Right now 264 is just stupid. Sure it looks better, but it just sounds a whole lot worse. Besides my footage is OLD!!

Right now 264 is just stupid.

It looks the same, it just compresses smaller. That saves the .org some space.

H.264 can benefit anyone for any source, I seriously suggest you try it.

Put it this way, H.264 with two of it's biggest features disabled (B-frames and CABAC) is still smaller than a regular XviD encode. CABAC accounts for 10-15% bitrate/filesize reduction alone.
