Post 10 - Reaction to the reading (Week 4, part 2)

Now we're getting somewhere! Having always been on the content repurposer end rather than the content creator, this is what I thought the class would be all about. I had no idea there were so many ways to get content into different digital formats long before you ever figured out how to display it on a website. Sounds silly, but there you go. I have the bad habit of thinking of content as a way to drive business and at that point, you're trading off how good does it have to be with cost.

Not being an audio/video-phile, I've never noticed or worried about the highs and lows of voices or the differences in the blacks. If I can tell what's going on and it's listenable, I'm good to go. Honestly, half of the stuff we've encoded, I can't tell the difference between.

Even with the brightcove comparisons (thanks TasteTV for replying!), had I not been deliberately looking for it, their video quality likely wouldn't have bothered me at all. I was far more concerned with where the chocolate shop was located and was that anywhere near me. (No, sadly)

I guess I'm just reiterating what our guest speaker said on Tuesday. It only has to be so good, don't over do it just because you can.
