Encoder outputs using various named targeted types such as Streaming
Broadband or Streaming High Speed Broadband and so on. I'm just getting
started with encoding and wondering if there is a correlation with pixels
and if so is there some known chart somebody may have blogged?

That is, by default when a video is encoded Streaming Broadband for example
what are its output dimensions in pixels used as parameters to size a video
player in a page?

Just look at the video tab at the bottom and you can watch it change
settings when you change from one format to another. The size is based on
width and can alter based on whether the video is wide screen or standard.
The broadband can be either 512 or 640, in general. If you go up to 720p or
1080p, they will be a smidgen below the full screen size (I guess this
accounts for menu bar and scrollbars? Thumbnails come in at 160.

If you use Silverlight, you have to use variable bit rate for HD (720p or
1080p). The HD for online services are all 1264 x 720 (wide screen only).
The main difference is the bitrate (YouTube = 1995, Facebook = 2500 and
Vimeo = 5000). Audio for all is 192 kbps at 44.1KHz and 16 bps. In
Silverlight the video bit rate will go down when you size down.

I posted a basic video on encoding at http://youtube.com/crazycancerdev, but
I will have to re-encode after playing a bit. More will be up there soon,
although there won't be many on Expression Encoder.

Peace and Grace,

When I can pull my head out of SMIL I will get back to encoding and need to
make a chart illustrating these choices but I have a question for you about
the visual impairment bullshit they have built into the Exoression Suite.

What size monitor and what resolution are you using for xEncoder and
particularly xBlend?
