Question: Had anyone had any luck replicating the sharpness, and file size of
the export
to iPod 320x240 function, but by doing it manually?
I have found the quality, and file size of "export" to iPod (320x240) to be
very appealing,
with one exception, the stretch factor. Why does Apple not take into
consideration the
rectangular pixels of the 720x480 format, and make them square to a true
320x240 size,
not 320x213?
Because every time I have tried a manual compression from DV to 320x240, the
image is
just not as sharp, and the file sizes are larger than the standard export to
iPod 320-x240.
And I have tried a variety of compressions.
I have tried making a self-contained 720x480 DV NTSC movie into a 640x480 DV
NTSC
movie. Then, I have done a variety of manual compressions, m4v, mp4, mov,
with Video,
or Sorenson 3, or MPEG$ settings. (The h.264 is definitely the best in quality
and size).
But again, none of the manual compression schemes come up to the quality of the
automatic export to iPod (320x240)
I have also tried going directly to 320 x 240 DV NTSC from 720x480, and worked
a variety
of manual compressions, but to no avail.
I am curious to know if others have had similar experiences.
