Ok, this is going to be quite a wordy one..
I’ve managed to create a very simple plane with a video texture on it. The video plays fine, the plane looks alright, everything is good. But on iOS the video is choppy, poor quality and skips complete sections. I need this video to be clear quality as it will be used in image recognition as well (another Away3d thing - it will play a video with associated image recognition).
The video seems to play fine in the Flash tester but it doesn’t seem to matter how I encode the video, the same thing happens.. in fact, I’d almost say the quality is getting poorer.
Questions:
1. Is there a standard encoding of mp4 to flv for VideoTexture?
2. Is this the right code to be using? (it’s what I’ve gathered looking at tutorials/other forum posts)
//at the very top, before the public class definition:
[SWF(backgroundColor="#000000", frameRate="24", quality="HIGH")]
//further in after the scene has been initiated
var _texture:VideoTexture = new VideoTexture("assets/test_vid2.flv", 256, 256);
var _material:TextureMaterial = new TextureMaterial(_texture);
//setup the scene
_plane = new Mesh(new PlaneGeometry(512,288,1,1,false,true),_material);
_view.scene.addChild(_plane);
_texture.player.play();
3. Is VideoTexture the correct method to be using in this case??
Thanks in advance for all your input.
