Lesson of the Week: Encoding for Upload to UGC or OVP, How Much (Data Rate) is Enough?
What's the optimal data rate for uploading a 1080p file? 10 Mbps? 100 Mbps? What about ProRes at 220 Mbps?
This lesson, from video course Streaming Media 101, analyzes the output quality of mezzanine files encoded in ProRes and at 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, and 100 Mbps over full encoding ladders to identify the optimal upload bandwidth (hint: it's probably less than you think).
