Hi all,

Important question: is using footage with a resolution of 400*300 enough for beaming on big screens (4x3m, 6x4m)??

I use 320x240 output and get excellent results a 8m H by 5m width ... I do use vector files tho

640x480 would be perfect - but with 2 layers my Laptop slows down.

320x240 is perfect for mixing
with 400x300 I dont see much difference from 320x240

i use:
Indeo 5.11
25frames per sec.
400x300

If you source material is high quality is doesn't really matter. we beamed on 190 square metres during a big event, so 400x300 is just fine, although we would like to go pal someday

it's not about projection screen dimension. it's about the dimensions of the space and the distance with audience.
resolution high or low doesn't change if u use a tv monitor or a huge screen: if u are near the screen u'll see the pixels, otherwise not, in both cases.
still using 640x480 makes mixing more difficult (it's up to your hardware too) ...

Tommy said that using 400*300 gives no problems as he is using vector files
but,
does it make a difference using vectors or using pre-rendered, properly anti-aliased movies
as I think it would make no diference, I'd really like to see this program go to the point where it could handle full-size pal (or ntcs) movies (768*576)

i use 512x384 and it looks pretty good. i'm not satisfied with anything less quality-wise. 640x480 is too much and my computer can't handle it.

hi Jelle,

resolume can handle fullsize pal.... its your computer that cant cope with the data stream through your processor...
if u like high res stuff buy a couple of portable dvd players... works great!
