Cheers for the info. The reason I asked is that I was trying to determine what settings etc made the quicktime encoding experience more of a hassle for you than sorenson. I had incorrectly assumed that when you said you didnt have time to fiddle with quicktime settings, you didnt do so in Sorenson either.
I guess what I am trying to get at, is whether anything could be done to make quicktime more appealing, or whether its a case that youve gone through a learning curve getting to know Sorenson and its settings, and dont want to have to go through that process all over again with quicktime?
