FWIW - I just finished encoding another long 52.5 minute presentation. Used a new Panther 10.3.9 + QT 6.5.2 + 3ivx 4.5.1 Dual Pass setup with FCP 4.5 from Canon XL-1 DV source. The image quality is great even in QT 6.5.2.
When I used 5 fps the file size came out to 116.6 MB which I decided is unnecessarily large. When I dropped it down to 1 fps the size is 54 MB. But that frequency of 1 fps is just a little too slow between images - missing some of my screen shots a few too many times. So I tried 2 fps. Size is up to 75.1 MB. So Clint Sharp's theory that 1 fps size can be maintained by changing other parameters seems to me to not hold up. I hesitate to put out the 75 MB version. That is 22 MBs extra for a little motion that is not necessary for this video. So I'm sticking with the 1 fps system for long verbal presentations with slides. I don't want to flood my subscribers with files larger than they absolutely positively need to be to communicate all the info. And this will be my first triple post effort. Ripped an mp3 32kbps file that is only 12 MB. So that will be for my audience's iPods. And a small PDF just to make it easier for them to hit the links. New problem - my post doesn't show up in iTunes. Can anyone tell me how I can post video and not have it show up in iTunes? It doesn't show up in FireANT either. But it did and does show up in NetNewsWire immediately. -- Taylor Barcroft New Media Publisher, Editor, Video Journalist, Video Podcaster Santa Cruz CA, Beach of the Silicon Valley URL http://FutureMedia.org RSS http://feeds.feedburner.com/FutureMedia iTunes http://tinyurl.com/8ql87 On Sep 9, 2005, at 10:28 AM, Steve Watkins wrote: > Im delighted to hear you are planning a knowledgebase, because these > encoding issues get complex and theres plenty to say on the subject.
