Can anyone help with a Codec problem?

I dunno, if anyone ever googl’s this thread, I feel I may be able to offer some advice, I tested about 6 different Codecs that can all handle alpha for AVI’s and for Quicktime, though what worked for me may not work for you, this is what I deduced:

Quicktime

Animation codec: was only average in my opinion, it seemed to reduce quality more than file size.

Huffy: was troublesome to install and didn’t work for me.

Sheer, was a nightmare, clips rendered with it wouldn’t play at all.

There were some other’s that were pretty obscure and dind’t work either, finaly the codec that worked for me was. . . . . .

Avid’s Meridien compressed codec (it’s free too).

It got the file sizes down the lowest I’ve seen, a 400 mb clip would be reduced to something around 40 mb (with no loss of image quality at all) none, Animation codec would drop a file size like that (400 mb) to only around 350 mb, whilst not even managing to keep the picture quality even half decent.

So there you go, plus the rendered clips will run in Resolume (if thats of any significance to you 🙂
