need fast encoding
Posted by Gerben Zevenbergen on May 27, 2011 at 12:41 pmWhat’s the fastest way to make a low-res video for preview? With streamclip it takes hours of converting 2 hours HD-footage, output wmv.

Needs to be WMV?

Any PC with QT Player should be able to read MP4 or H264 from your Mac.
You should be able to convert to those formats more or less fast.
Any more PC-friendly option (WMV, AVID) I think will be slower.

May 29, 2011 at 3:35 pmIf you manage to get a hold on EPISODE (unfortunately not the cheapest), but man, that thing is faster than light – beats the crap out of compressor. Very good results in no time. And Raphael is right – do not convert to WMV – most PC users can read the QT files by now.
