Okay, any advice on this would be helpful as I'm trying to get over the compression hump.
I was told that I should be uploading my vids in the mpeg4 format but I'm still a bit confused on whether I'm doing this correctly. I want to be able to submit my videos to the various directories like blip.tv and at same time they should be itunes compatible. I shot a video and did the editing in Sony Movie studio 4 and saved as an .avi file. I then opened QT Pro and exported as 'movie to QT movie' compression = mp4 quality = high Frame rate =15 key frame = 5 data rate = 700 size 320x240 In the sound I was forced to choose 44,100? 22,100 was greyed out. then I chose mono, and format of AAC with target bit rate 128 Now that came out pretty good but I'm getting confused on the next compression that I did. I exported same .avi file in QT Pro but this time I chose: Movie to Mp4 Format = H.264 data rate = 550 Optimized for 'streaming' size = 320x 240 Frame rate = 30 keyframe = 24 baseline best quality = multi pass audio= aac 128 stereo 44.100 coding= better Now this video came out a bit smaller in size but you can see some sections that have a 'blurriness' to it. I was told that H.264 was the best encoder but didn't look as good as the first one I did. Aren't both these still considered mp4? I really appreciate the help I've been getting in ths group and luckily...it's all starting to make more sense. Tobey
