NOTE: 272p = frame-size 480x272 pixels, 16:9 aspect ratio, playable on all kinds
of MP4 capable devices/players/playback systems
360p = frame-size 640x360 pixels, 16:9 aspect ratio, middle-format, playback
as for 272p (except streaming)
480p = frame-size 720x480 pixels for 16:9 aspect ratio (TV) or 720x304
for 2.35:1 (movies/theatrical AR)
720p = frame-size 1280x720 pixels for 16:9 aspect ratio (TV) or 1280x544
for 2.35:1 (movies/theatrical AR), hardware intensive

Most problems people have are with frame-sizes 1280x720 (720p). I recommend
and have used one system for years - CoreCodec for H264 ("Deblocking" set to
"Standard") and part of DivX7 for AAC.
Both are proved perfect, fastest and provide seamless playback up to 1080p
on new generation of computers. Newer NVIDIA graphic cards processors (GPU)
decode H264 using dedicated subroutines directly served from CoreCodec
(I have an ATI card, just in case you were wondering).

Problems one can have may come from either one of the following
and/or a combination of these – the playback system itself, a
malfunctioning device or lack of knowledge.

For instance, any so called "jerky" playback of "system-heavy" 720p comes
from insufficient CPU and graphic engine power or simply - overloaded
computer. Use of ddshow filters and "codecs" is suicidal. This is not
Russian 720p Matroska format ("official" 720p) and completely different
setup is required (extremely high bit-rates of .mkv 720p to some extent
"hide" bad encoding style). In low bit-rate H264, such as mine,
those errors and bad technique cannot be hidden and therefore are avoided as
much as possible.

Any 'blurriness' of video comes from less-than-recommended media player.
VLC and a few other players are the most versatile and, generally speaking,
good - but quality is 10-20% lower.
Any ‘blockiness’ comes from 'system-too-slow' situation, when decoding
engine of ones device become over-capacitated and cannot process all frames
as it supposed to.
On "I have no video" and "I have no sound" I don't waste my time as this
is generally a complete lack of knowledge and/or understanding.
RTFM is the best response I can give.

MP4 is absolutely ISO 14496-1 compliant. There are no B-frames, no CABAC
entropy in 272p and 360p, no strange filtering and no AV weirdness of
any kind.

Recommended resolution for computers is 1024x768 (no matter frame-size).
PS3 + HDMI cable + newer TV have been reported as best combination.
I am very proud on sound quality and hence I recommend use of stereo system
and proper loudspeakers (connect Line Out of Soundcard or standalones
with Line In of any Stereo rack).

I encode H264 for six years and I have experienced (first-hand) any problem
one might have or imagine. I have heard almost every ‘complaint’ out there
and would, if asked POLITELY, be happy to answer questions and give as much
help as humanly possible
I always have.

------------------

Please be aware that the download manager called Flashget, Transmission under v1.9, Xtorrent (any), generally malfunctioning Miro/libtorrent, uTorrent lower than 1.8.3, Azureus/Vuze under v4, KTorrent, BitLord and ANY other "wrong" or hacked/patched/"tweaked"/"with-wrong-settings" torrent-program - can and will get you blocked by me.

Also, stay AWAY from newly upped torrents, still in the phase of initial-seeding IF you have upload speed below 50kB/s and wont/cannot set UL/DL speeds at 1:1.
Wait till at least five stable seeds are present.
It is not instantaneous, it can take a while, but be sure about! There is like million other places you can go.

I will not be re enabling people if they have been using it, there is no discussion on this. Please treat this as the only warning you will get about it.

If you have used it, do yourself a favor and get new and proper torrent program.
In light of recent events, I have no intention to discuss that or listen to someone's "Oh, but I am used to it." or "I have this-or-that settings, this is good program for torrents." It might be true for you, but that's not what I see day after day.

You have been warned.
