H.263 Question
I don’t know that this is the proper forum, and if it’s not, please forgive me- and point my dumb butt to the right place!!!
Here’s the deal- I have to make an H.263 file and I need to remove annexes D, E, F, and G from the H.263. 1. Does anyone know what I’m talking about (because I’m not sure!)? 2. Has anyone ever done this or even heard of it? 3. Is there software outside of Sorenson Squeeze or FCP that I can utilize to be able to do this?
Why H.263, you ask? Because that’s what I’ve been given to work with… I’m not sure to the “why”.
Any advice anyone can give is immensely helpful.
Thanks so much in advance!

Hi Scott,
I’ve never worked with that codec and I haven’t heard much of it.
If is something similar to H264 and you need to edit with that, you better transcode the footage to an editable codec.

Hi scott davis
I have worked with this codec as recently as last year. Its the MPEG1 of mobile phone video…
Its a 3GPP format codec and the annexes you refer to are the later profile settings. I think your client just wants the baseline profile – which although not pretty looking will play on most mobile phones supporting any sort of video. Even clunkers.
The best Apple product to encode it in is Telestreams Episode Pro version 5 or above.
My final setting for my client ended up being cooked with 3GP version 3GPPv5, Video Encode H.263,
Audio Encode AMR narrowband.
You will find the help inside Episode Pro of immense value with this.Hope this helps
Best Regards
Chris Wyatt
