Re: [videoblogging] Re: 3ivx Data Rate? what's going on? 16x9 Widescreen.... dummycast

2005-08-23 Thread Michael Verdi




If you are working in FCP, you need to have your sequence match your  
video.  So if your are using anamorphic DV you need that sequence  
preset.  Then, when you place your video in the sequence it won't  
have letterboxing.  Now when you save for the web, instead of making  
your video 320 X 240 you'll have to pick some size that is  
proportional to your video. Something like 427 X 240 or 320 X 180.

You can only go back to QT6 if you go back to 10.3.9 or earlier.  You  
can't have QT 6 and 10.4

2005-08-23 Thread Steve Watkins




Yeah the datarate on that clip is more like 2000. This is probably the
known 3ivx bitrate bug. If you have QT7/Tiger then it appears 3ivx
gets confused and doesnt honour the bitrate that you put in the box in
dualpass mode.

3ivx fixing this bug themselves is the proper solution, but its been
nearly 4 months since Tiger came out, so I dunno whats happening there.

Ive never done any 16:9 stuff but I guess you might want to consider
cropping out the black borders - right now I think it is actually
encoding those black areas, wasting a bit of your bitrate. And for me
personally Id like to see your content without the black borders, ie
when quicktime plays it, the quicktime window itself goes to 16:9 aspect.

Cheers
