DV AVI to Quicktime for web…?
Hi, I have some video clips that I filmed and need to convert them to Quicktime format for viewing on the web, one for a dialup connection and one for a broadband connection.
What is the best way (I have Vegas 5) to encode the stuff on my timeline to quicktime (settings, codec etc…)
Thanks a bunch!

render as QT .. then under template choose 512K-1k for broadband .. 80-100K for dial up …

I tried that, it didn’t come out looking very good – should I encode what’s on the timeline to DV AVI first? Or is that a bad idea – I read some thing about de-interlacing interlaced video, is that necessary? is there any prep work I should do before going to QT?

Try setting the keyframe to 300.
Also, make sure that the datarate limiter is turned OFF.Mike

“Try setting the keyframe to 300.

It’s all part of selecting the “Custom” options for rendering.
After choosing QT as your “save as” type, click on the the “Custom – Video” tabs. In here, select the desired frame size and frame rate. Then go to the “Video format” box. I’ve been told to select the “Sorenson Video 3” option as it’s the cleanest for QT movies. Now you should be able to make these adjustments. Set the “Data Rate” to “Unconstrained”. The “Keyframe” setting is at the bottom of this area.
You can also switch over to the “Audio” tab and make adjustments there if desired.
These settings can be saved as a preset if desired by entering a name in the “Template” box at the top of the tab and clicking the floppy disc icon.
Hope this helps.Mike

YIPES!!! I encoded it and it sounds like the sound is on fast forward – he sounds like a chipmunk!
What happened? -

I don’t remember, but I put the audio format on qualcomm purevoice (since it’s only voice in the sound) but I changed it again, same format but different sample rate and it seems to have fixed it. Where should I ideally put the quality slider for the video tab (for dialup and broadband), under compressed depth, it only gives me one option, 24bpp color, I have pixel aspect ratio on 1.000, field order on None, frame rate at 29.97,,, what is the box at the bottom that says “natural only” – should that be checked?
Also, for the project settings, should I put it on good or best? I read that for mpg2, best doesn’t show a noticeable improvement, but maybe it does for quicktime? -
Why Quicktime? Windows media is far more commonplace.

yeah well, they want quicktime and wmv, I don’t have a say in it really,,, if it were me, i’d use flash, but this is what they want…
