Dump question about playing video files ?

Hi,

I watch English club football with P2P streaming.

The default size of the screen is quite small, maybe 1/8 of my 15.4" laptop screen and when I make it full screen or zoom-in, the quality of video gets really bad.


My question is,

is it due to the graphics card on my laptop (Nvidia GeForceGo 7300)

OR

screen resolution (WXVGA, max 1280 x 800)

OR

the actual quality of video file ?


Can anyone point me to good reference of how above technologies work together ?


Thanks for bearing such a dump question.

 

quality of the video is bad your secp should play any video out there

 

as solag3 says, it's the video file. streaming video is by nature poor quality for bandwidth reasons.

the quality of a video is inversely proportional to it's size; i.e., the better quality video, the larger the file size and the poorer quality, the smaller the size.

 

Is it file size or screen size when playing the video file ?

I am interested in how to play those video files in bigger screen, zoomed in or full screen size.

Thanks.

 

You could watch it on a lower resolution screen, which would make it look bigger but less clear.
Regardless, an increase in video size would mean a decrease in picture quality as the video being streamed is of poor quality.

 

You got to understand that P2P streaming is hard and ....illegal. If you want a better picture, you need to pay
