    Posted by Ali Cotterill on April 4, 2008 at 12:11 am

    I’m exporting a video that is HD 720p60 (frame size 960 by 720) in Compressor. I’m trying to get a relatively small file size (100 MB or less) to send to someone to preview. He’s on Windows, so the settings I normally use (apple tv or ipod) won’t work on his machine. What settings will work and and maintain 16:9? -Ali

    How long is the video? You may never be able to get it that small if it is to long.

    Yes, of course. I forgot to say. It’s only three minutes. -Ali

    Thanks Kevin. The apple tv and ipod codecs make mpeg-4’s, but they will only open on Macs. The straight mpeg-4 codec was the way to go. -Ali

    No they will play on ANY computer with iTunes installed. If the computer has iTunes make sure iTunes is up to date.
