  Video specs

  Posted by David Rodey on July 8, 2009 at 4:33 pm

  Hello,

  An online magazine that our company deals with is requesting videos for their sites. I have a 2min video they can use. They gave me these specs:

  File type: Quick Time .mov

  Size: 720×480 pixels, DV, DVC-Pro codecs

  Compression: H.264 (2 pass, best quality)

  Framerate: 29.97 or 23.976

  So I exported the video using these specs and it came out over 5000mbs. Is that normal?

  I shot in DV, not HD.

  Thank you!

  Those specs contradict themselves. Do they want DV/DVCPro or H.264? Those are two separate codecs. You can’t have both. I assume the 500MB file is using DV/DVCPro. Vegas does not render Quicktime H.264. You will need Quicktime Pro to do that.

  Correct. I rendered using the DVC-PRO codec because the H.264 didn’t work. Now I know why! Of course, I’m still using Vegas 5. Trying to get me company to justify upgrading to Pro 9.

  I was confused about DVC-PRO and h.264 as well since they both pop up in the list. I’m thinking they wanted to say MPEG4 instead of h.264?

  I’m going to check with the magazine.
