    Anyone know the best settings for fast
    encoding of MOV to WMV using flip4mac?

    I need to a reasonably good quality full size image
    to upload to a television server.

    I have in the past used procoder on a pc and got great
    results fast but now have limited time and moving
    files from one machine to another is too slow.

    any help, thanks..

    > Anyone know the best settings for fast

    to upload to a television server.< Then you probably need MPEG2, not WMP. > I have in the past used procoder on a pc and got great

Exporting with F4M on our big G5s via Compressor or Cleaner takes about three times as long as using most QT formats. Your BEST settings will be the same ones you used in ProCoder. Why would you want to change anything? bogiesan This is my standard sigfile so do not take it personally: “For crying out loud, read the freakin’ manual.”
