2.5 hr show – Compress from Pro Res – to what codec for Intranet playback???
LOOKING FOR SUGGESTIONS…
I have a 2 hour 40 min video I need to compress that will play back on a intranet.
The final video can be split into multiple segments no greater than 300mb per segment.I can scale the video to half size, the Source is 720×486 Pro-Res 422 16 bit Audio
The codec options are:
.WMV
.AVI
.MPG
.MP4
.MOV
.FLV
.M4VI work on a Mac and prefer not to use .WMV or .AVI.
Using:
Mac OS 10.6.8
Final Cut Pro 7.0.3
Compressor 3.5.3
I also have access to Episode Pro 5.3.2 and Squeeze 6.5I had 3 small edits needed to the raw 2 hr 40 min show (in Final Cut Pro)
I thought I would export the edited program out of FCP as ProRes 422 for my final source file.
Then…
I was thinking I would use Compressor (or other software) to export a half size (360×243)
file using h.264 compression.Then… use FCP or QuickTime Pro to cut and save the segments, each segment has to be under 300mb. After compression, possibly end up with about 5-10 segments. Would this work? Is there a better way?
Any suggestions in methods or codecs would be appreciated.
Thanks! -

Pick any tool you prefer. h.264 at 1/4 res (do 320×240 and crop off the 3 lines)
Run the compression at 500kbs (video and audio.) It should look decent. 2 pass VBR
You can break it into hour segments – so 3 segments.Best,
