Wandering in the rain in a swampy Green Heart of Holland.
Remastered 4K copy of yesterdays film (20241001). Yesterday’s video display is bad on all platforms I tried : Vimeo, YouTube, and SubStack. To limit display bandwidth I uploaded 720p files to Vimeo and Substack, and an HD (1080p) file to YouTube. To maximize quality all these files were uploaded with minimal compression, as Apple ProRes (422). However , I guess, these platforms do not optimize their conversion methods with more moving details in a 720(-1080p) video. The 720p file uploaded to Vimeo was 1530 MB, and the Vimeo conversion yielded a 720p display file of 38.5 MB : so, 2 to 3 % of the original file (posted 20241001 at 1-memo•com). The YouTube upload was a 2966 MB ProRes file, and the available display file 33 MB , so ca 1 %. The upload to Substack was the same ProRes as uploaded to Vimeo.

I have today uploaded to all platforms the same 1324 MB file (h264 , bit rate 93 Mb/s). At Substack this file will be replacing the video in yesterday’s post (20241001) later today. At YouTube and Vimeo (via 1-memo•com) , these are new posts (20241002). A 4K file yields larger conversion files … whether this improves display quality .. let’s find out.
The original in camera video is ca 3K (Insta360 GO3S Freeframe video 2720×1530 50p). Note that the original film quality is showing in the posted ‘stills’ from that video file (at 1-memo•com).

Vimeo conversion today (20241002) yielded display files of 37 MB (720p) 71 MB (1080p) and 166 MB (1440p), and 300 MB at 2160p. This is looking clearly better at 1080p , and at a big screen nice from 1440p.
YouTube conversion today (20241002) also yields excellent results with the higher resolution files (no further info available via YT on the file sizes of the display videos). Results for SubStack will show later today… at https://1memo.substack.com/p/rain-ramble-1memo-20241001
