VIDEO REQUIREMENTS

CODECS
bakingbusiness.com encodes all uploaded video to the H.264 codec and therefore recommends for best quality that all source video also be encoded to H.264. 
Video: H.264
Audio MP3: (160 kbps)

OTHER ACCEPTABLE CODECS
Video: MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, VP6, VP5, H.263, WMV, MJPEG
Audio: AAC (128 kbps), WMA, MP2, WAV, ADPCM

FILE SIZE
The maximum supported media file size is 5 GB before uploading.

INTERLACE
All media should be de-interlaced before uploading. Interlaced video is primarily used for television and does not display well on computer screens.

FRAME RATE
Recommended frame rates are 24 (23.98), 25, or 30 (29.97) frames per second (fps). Settings that are larger than these recommendations are acceptable but may result in poor user viewing experiences due to high CPU usage.

BITRATE
A bitrate of at least 1500 kilobits per second (kbps) is recommended for HD quality.

ASPECT RATIO
Virtually any aspect ratio (including 16:9 widescreen and 4:3 standard) is supported, however 16:9 is recommended.

FRAME SIZE
bakingbusiness.com recommends that the original file be encoded to a frame size that matches the desired aspect ratio (e.g. 1024x576 pixels for 16:9 widescreen or 1024x768 pixels for 4:3 standard. The recommended frame sizes for our preferred 16:9 aspect ratio are 640x360, 1024x576, or 1280x720 pixels. For videos that are intended to be displayed in full screen mode a minimum width of 1024 pixels is recommended.
