best compression settings for web
Hi all. Just wanted your thoughts… on your preferred settings inside Compressor for resizing your video for the web. What I typically use create are 320×240 Qt’s, hinted streaming, H.264 codec (set to high, multi-pass), 29.97 fps, 10-pt. cropping (all sides), 44.1kHz audio. However, the file sizes are too large. Even if a use the Sorenson3 codec, the size is is still large for my taste. And I’d like people to be able to view them quickly on the web, without having to sacrifice too much quality. I wonder if using a different codec altogether will work. When I bring the self-contained QT’s from Final Cut into the Adobe Media Converter (windows media), I get amazing quality in a WMV file, for about one tenth the size of the same kind of quicktime file.
I’m just trying to bypass this hopefully unnecessary PC step. And no, I HATE Flip-4-Mac! Those are even worse, file size-wise.
Any suggestions?
thx in advance -

Quicktime really is the most universal option. It’s alrger but msot everyone will be able to view it.
If you have the space I’d suggest posting both a large QT version and a smaller AVI version.
