Interested in comments on how the online streaming quality via the official streaming services, WatchAFL and AFL live, was by the end of 2014?
On the WatchAFL site they report the following quality:
However when I tried the WatchAFL service earlier in the year it was nowhere near this quality - it was a blurry, low resolution mess.
Did it improve during 2014? Was it good enough to watch on a big screen by the end of the year? Is AFL Live different quality to WatchAFL?
On the WatchAFL site they report the following quality:
1280 x 720
3000 kbit/s; 25.000 fps;
640 x 360
800 kbit/s; 25.000 fps;
512 x 288
400 kbit/s; 25.000 fps;
The first of those is moderately respectable and should be more than watchable - it's pushing up into the territory of being close to SD broadcast TV, depending on the codec etc they use.3000 kbit/s; 25.000 fps;
640 x 360
800 kbit/s; 25.000 fps;
512 x 288
400 kbit/s; 25.000 fps;
