  • Encoding Question

    Posted by Jonny Filsinger on April 4, 2005 at 9:17 pm

    What would be the best way to encode samples of :30 TV spots and 5-6 minute programs for our website? Do we need a Quicktime and Windows version of each or is there a universal format that will play on everything? Please see my website for samples of what I’m talking about. http://www.mastervideomemphis.com then go to gallery. Your help will be appreciated very much.

    Quicktime works on both platforms.

    I use it for many A/V edited samples for our clients.

    I export my commercial edits right from FCP (using the “Quicktime Conversion” choice) and then email the QT movies to the clients… very few problems with all the PC users out there (ugh!).

    What are you using now software-wise? I really like the batch processing in Sorenson’s Squeeze, that would make things easy I think. Best QuickTime for sure… And they can do windows.

    Slight hijack but might also help – is there an mp4 format that plays in Windows and QuickTime (much like mpeg-1)? And BTW will WMP recognise H.264?

    Don’t think so in either question.
