The VideoLAN Forums

I have query on High Definition video capture.
Can somebody help me providing a site to download high definition video clips for h.264 encoding/decoding purposes?. The HD video can be in raw format.

well .........

what you define like "HD video" is no more, no less than a video with a high resolution and a low compression ....... there is no "HD video" definition .....

don't think that exist such a site ....... because the video are very big in diskspace .......

the blueray format for example ...... we are talking of hundreds of Megabyte each minuts ........

so a single clip might weight between 1~2Gb

Thru a good video source and good filters you might approach of the quality you ask ......

don't know if it's authorized to give links in this forum ....... i'll try
one high quality video/trailer that might help you (but it's in windows media player format) : http://rd.yahoo.co.jp/tokushu/5cm/tease ... 80_720.wmv (official link of the trailer)
it's the official trailer of a japanese animation named "5cm" in a somewhat HD mode
official website : http://5cm.yahoo.co.jp

http://trailers.apple.com has many HD video files.

I have loaded some HD videos on a site if you want I can show you them, their quality simply magnificent

Some free samples here:
WMV HD Content Showcase

That's Windows Media though, not H264.

Here a lot of interesting HD video files: hdwebtown.com

Probably it is possible to find set of interesting sites with HD video format but I liked that site where I have loaded set of trailers Simply the matter is that I should not observe as my video will be loaded as I know that they will not be compressed
