Title: What resolution to download Vimeo video?
Post by: valerie on February 08, 2022, 02:42:08 PM

I've made a valentine's day video to add to my micro SD card for the tiny TV I'm giving my partner. Next step is to convert it using the TS converter. I created the video on Vimeo and I'm ready to download it. It's giving me many options of resolution to download. Which is best to choose? Video is 2 minutes and 6 seconds long with audio.

Here are the choices:
Original - 1080 x 1080 (111.46 mb)
HD1080 P - 1080 x 1080 (28.66 MB)
HD720P - 720 x 720 (16.12 MB)
SD540 P - 540 x 540 (11.46 MB)
SD360 P - 360 x 360 (5.65 MB)

Please help! Which is best for the tiny TV? Best resolution available? Thanks!

I think the best way to find out what works for you is to test the best and worst resolutions. The videos you convert get resized for a 0.96" screen either way.

The possibly important difference if you are adding a lot of different videos to your TV is that the lower resolution video would take up less space on the SD Card.
