Well, I downloaded and read up on handbrake features. I was able to compress a iMovie .produced m4v file with a change of 60mb down to 20mb file size using the .h264 codex and an rf (rate factor) of 20 (60%). I guess that's about all I really need to do with handbrake is compress the file sizes as my upload site has a 100mb limit on uploads, and that gets eaten up pretty fast.
using iMovie I'm asked to select an output size with five selection possibilities, mobile, medium, large, HD720, and HD1080. I selected large and iMovie output a file 60mb in size. Handbrake then compressed it down to 20mb with no changes in picture size. am I right in assuming that iMovie doesn't give any options for compression/file size, but that is what handbrake is useful for? I want as big/large a picture as I can get (920x540) because I want the viewer to see my individual finger movements, that's why I selected large and not medium or mobile, which as far as I can tell only affects the pixel dimensions or size of the picture. enough rambling, there's not even a good question in here. Any thoughts and insights would be welcome though. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
