How about QuickTime?
Cannot generate Quicktime files as small Real & Windows exporting
from Premiere. Any suggestions?...need to be able to stream on
websites. (eg. www.TheLinkTV.net, www.ChucksFilms.com)
Considering only using .mpegs since most player will stream
them...feedback?
Also what's up with mp4?
----You can generate QuickTime but no, they might not be quite as small,
but again we are talking about a power user situation since most
Mac-O-Philes seem to be at least a little more savvy. Use QuickTime Pro
6 and the right compression and you should get a very nice result, and
then be sure to just place a big, dumb link on the site in case the
embed code has a hissy fit with certain browsers.
What's up with mp4? Nothing...it just isn't as prevalent in most
people's machines, that's all. It's the sort of thing a power user will
have in stashed but your average "checks email and surfs the web" user
wouldn't even know about.
Again I cannot stress enough the undeniable fact that most folks who own
computers dont even KNOW what a Windows Media Player is, they just know
that "some thingamajig" pops up and the video plays, or it doesn't.
They don't know an mp4 from an AOL adapter, and the only reason they
know about mp3 is because mp3's get marketed retail.
You can certainly go the MPEG route, but it would be MPEG-1 which might
not be the best choice if your video has a lot of fast scene changes or
lots of motion detail, like a large grove of trees in the wind behind a
singer in the foreground or a closeup of a waterfall.
Scene files like that can choke an MPEG-1 codec and make it fall flat on
its face.
Strangely enough, the folks who seemed to have the best luck with MPEG-1
in the early days were the porno companies.
Something about an interior shot with "large" objects (well, large
compared to a wide shot a tree with thousands of leaves!)
moving in the foreground seems to lend itself well to the MPEG-1
experience, and most of the old internet porn films were done indoors.
If your video is a "talking head" you can do quite well with it.
