Exporting DVCPro HD into a PC friendly (playback) codec
This isn’t for importing into Premiere or anything..
I’m just looking for recommendations for what the ideal codec/format options are on exporting a full size DVCPro HD 720p (1280×720) clip to a universally compatible format that plays smoothly on most computers, especially PC’s. I realize processor speeds and such play a big factor, but
It seems ‘jumpy stuttery playback’ issues are a big problem with other (non Mac) users regardless of what i export to (Sorenson V3, H264, Mpeg4) especially when the image window is re-scaled.
And i’m speaking of those with fast PC’s, (2-8 core) plenty of RAM, etc. I haven’t experimented around much but it seems PC’s just don’t like Quicktime formats.i realize exporting to a full size (1280×720) image and re-scaling windows is part of the problem, especially with older computers. But this is precisely what I need to do, retain the full HD size/quality for large HD monitors that can be re-scaled and retain the nice smooth playback.
Many thanks for any suggestions

You have to make the file size small enough to play smoothly on other computers. We make all h264s for all makes of computers with appropriate compression for the playback
