I tried the "Movie to iPod" export setting in the new QuickTime but found the resulting file, although gorgeous in quality, was too large to be practical.
So, based on Mike Verdi's 3ivx specs I've been using for a while, I did some experimenting with an eight-minute vid from Crash Test Kitchen. I came up with H.264 specs that produce a slightly larger file (14.5 meg, compared with about 13.8 for 3ivx). The H.264 version supported a 50% higher bitrate than 3ivx; and a framerate of 24 compared with 12 for 3ivx. It is definitely more watchable than the 3ivx version. It's still a .mov file of 320 x 240, which I understand should be playable on a video iPod. Anyway, here are the specs: Export -> Movie to QuickTime Movie Options: Compression H.264 Settings: Frame Rate, 24 Key Frames, automatic Frame Reordering, box ticked Quality, high Encoding, best quality (multi pass) Data rate, restrict to 225 kilobits/second (roughly 28 kilobytes/sec) Optimized for download Sound settings: Format, AAC Channels, mono Rate, 22.050 Show advanced settings Bit rate format, constant bit rate Target bit rate, 16 Precedence, bit rate Quality, better Hope this helps someone, Waz. www.crashtestkitchen.com ------------------------ Yahoo!
