We encode, .mov, .m4v, .mp3, flash, and .wmv. With .m4v being about

Any particular reason you continue to promote this time-consuming
process, rather than simply using iSquint, which cuts out all the
intermediate DVD steps, and uses the same kind of mpeg4 h264
compression that is available in handbrake?

Its a good strategy but Im not sure whether this option gives you
mpeg4 files or h264 files? In the past it was possible to get a mpeg4
file that works on both the ipod and PSP, but h264 more problematic
(because PSP uses h264 main profile and ipod uses baseline h264 profile).
ffmpegX recently
Yes mpeg4 rather than h264 offers greater compatibility with older
machines versions of quicktime etc.
Your mpeg4 files wont necessarily be any larger than h264 ones, its
just that at any given bitrate you can get better quality fromh264
than mpeg4. But many people use around the same bitrate
No its not a joke. I dont know why it didnt work for you, nor why you
are so quick to assume that things that dont work for you must be a
cruel joke.
Maybe you found a bug or it somehow didnt like your source footage for
some reason. Anyway I will continue to reccomend isquint because its

Yeah, it's a bug. When I tried it I had the same problem. I'm not
