Re: [videoblogging] h.264 and QuickTime Compression

2006-04-10 Thread Michael Verdi



Hey Lukas,I still use 3ivx - it's pretty good - not quite as good as h.264 but it plays with Qt 6, plays well on older computers, and it's much faster than h.264 at encoding. I have a tutorial for it on Freevlog: http://freevlog.org/wordpress/index.php/2005/10/23/compress-for-the-web-with-3ivx/ >The tutorial goes through using single pass encoding. There is a workaround for doing dual pass on Mac OS 
10.4. What you have to do is, once the first pass is complete, open up your Preference folder (USER > LIBRARY > PREFERENCES) and look for the file 3ivx2pass.log. It should be near the top of the directory. Just drag it to your desktop momentarily. Then go back and set up the second pass. Just before you click Save, go back and replace the new log file in your preferences with the one you put on your desktop. The click save and your second pass will work just fine.
Let me know if you have any questions. I make all my videos like that.-VerdiOn 4/10/06, Lukas Blakk <

that look good, create small files via Quicktime AND canbe viewed on old systems?  thanks,lukas blakk
