Producing screencasts for uPlayer

There have been issues with the legibility of screencasts.
uPlayer encoding settings are configured for maximum quality, so if there are issues, the best advice is:

• produce the best quality original you can
• lower the resolution of the screen you are capturing from
• capture a smaller area of the screen

The uPlayer system currently encodes at standard definition (SD). We plan to upgrade to version 2 over the summer of 2012. Version 2 will support high definition (HD) encoding which should result in better encoding of screencast material.
