Hi.

I asking this because I feel it's relevant to Inkscape in the way that some times, trying to explain a way to achieve something in Inkscape is only successfully when I use a video to explain. Like I did in this thread.

Had some trouble with captured videos on youtube that had very odd ratios (screen showing Inkscape with menus that is high and narrow, like 900 x 1500).
When trying to upload videos with odd ratios to youtube, the resulting video that everyone can see is scaled down pretty heavilly to fit into a 640x480 pixels sized video.

Therefore I wonder - Is there any sites on the web that supports videos with different ratio better than youtube?


Thanks

Two weeks and no feedback.

Consider this thread abandoned by the OP then.

Hi. No, I haven't abandoned, and it's not solved either. However, the answer you gave make me thing you haven't understand my problem, so I cannot see what to answer back.

There is no way I'm willing to manually downscale the video - it will be wrong if I did, and the fault is related to youtube or any video uploading service. That is what I'm asking. I do not ask about a video editing software.

Hi.

I've checked the original videofiles (I always do, a habit I posess). There is nothing wrong with the original files.

The downscaling and mess up is all done by youtube. It scale down the video so that it fits into a 640x480 px window while it preserves ratio by adding a frame around the atea that doesn't cover the far sides after downscaling.

The only other video site I know of, besides YT, is vimeo. I have no idea if it meets your needs. But you could investigate, if you haven't already.

Thanks, I'll give it a try. Not today, but It's sticked on my todo list

I let you know If vimeo works better.

Unfortunately I doesn't have the vidoe file, so I need to create a new one.

Just to kill this thread once for all and close the case - I found that the smartest way to upload is to have CamStudio record a Fixed region that is excactly 640x480 px. When that video uploads, the height/width stay the same and video resolution too.

I just have to move and resize canvas first to adapt the fixed region that is recorded.

btw, I still using youtube for uploading and Handbrake to make the video file to a decent size
