Best format to export HDV footage (5 min) for play on a PC?
Hey,
Trying to get an HDV movie out of FCP and get the best quality in a file that will play on a PC.
I am not wanting a DVD where I have different audio and video as this will be launched from Powerpoint.
So far I have tried a quicktime movie with H.264 and had no luck. It seems like quicktime is hit or miss. I may just be way off on the compressor type.
I have created AVI files which gets the picture to the screen, but quality is lacking?
I have tools available to me, just not having luck with the right settings. Take your pick:
Compressor
Quicktime Conversion
Sorenson Squeezeas far as tools to convert with.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

You are going to want Windows Media file. A .WMV which can be produced using Flip4Mac.com Windows Media encoder.

OK,
I have got it playing, and have Window Media Encoder on my PC. What I have done is export through Quicktime Conversion to AVI and then it will play the AVI either in QTime or Media Player. The color is still a little crappy.So do you think using the suggested Flip4Mac product will provide a better result.

.WMV is a better format than .AVI.
