came across this on the conference's official facebook page, highlights of stockport v chester's game were chester won 4-2, have to say for a team a league below us, the picture quality is brilliant, good second goal by stockport too.

Chester no.7 looks a handy winger not afraid to take on his man with some great bits of skill.

loved the punch in the ribs from Stockports no.8 obviously very upset.

Looking at the picture quality of those highlights, it does make me wonder why we don't get Town highlights in HD on Mariner's Player. Surely in 2014 that should be standard, shouldn't it?

HD ? Christ can't even get them in a format that the most popular tablet and phone can use

The highlights quality is very poor... everywhere else you look its much much better...

come on Town... get it sorted !!!

Good to see Chester packing the away section. Makes the argument of regionalising the lower leagues stronger. More rivalry and local interest. Better atmosphere and gate receipts for clubs.

For those moaning at the quality of the MP highlights, yes it isn't the best but it has been stated many times on here that the club is tied into an agreement with http://www.performgroup.co.uk/ and they are mainly responsible for the quality and there is not much the club can do about it.

Wrexham is too, how come their highlights are better?

I am sure if the club are paying for it, and the standard is poor/ not of good quality , they can do something about it , its just someone being bothered to do somert

Its the codec that's the issue.
All they need to do is run the videos through a program called Handbreak- it reduces file size and keeps video quality. The program is free as well.
I left feedback on the site a while ago. I cant imagine that performgroup.co.uk would do the compression for all clubs cos that would be a massive job every Saturday. I reckon it would be the video editors job at the club...

I don't know many people at the club- maybe someone on here knows someone who can help out the vid people?

The solution is very straight forward.

Handbrake is a video transcoder which can be set to use various codecs, but most people use it to convert files to MP4/AVC format.

The issue with the GTFC highlights is that the web platform is set to use a crappier codec than h.264/AVC. I'd imagine that it isn't the case that they aren't able to use a better codec, just that they won't (or perhaps their old web software doesn't support it).

Let's face it, the OS has been an absolute abomination of a site design ever since the PremierTV thing (or whatever it was called) was signed up to some years back. The newer design is, if anything, even worse than the old one.

The fact that a professional company providing a service to so many football clubs is either incapable (or more likely simply unwilling) to produce a capable site design still beggars belief!

Well its simple to fix if someone spent 5 mins looking into it. More people would sign up with higher quality vids.

Performgroup would win cos they wouldn't be storing as much on the server and GTFC would win too.

Everyones a winner.

I don't know if the club is actually "paying" for it I assume that the subscriptions are split between the club and Perform and possibly also the advertising revenue.

My source told me that if a club wanted to leave Perform before the end of the contract they would have to pay a hefty fee for doing so.

I've just watched the Guiseley highlights and they are fine. Fishymo if you tell enough people they are of poor quality they will beleive you and not subscribe to MP.

Better be quiet then shall I? How come you singled me out?

I'm pleased they are up to standard for you.
Ignorance is bliss.

I can't see any difference. Neither setting is particularly good but each club's is the same
