    This was the question given to me,
    “I do the web updates at SR and we wanted to get the volunteer video up on our site but don’t have the compression tools here. Is it possible to compress the video and get it to us in a mpeg format or whatever format you think is best for our website?”

    I have FCP and Compressor, what MPEG format on compressor should I format it to?

    You can export for the Web from Quicktime, your codec selection is up to you and what v. of QT your viewers have, in a perfect world you’d use H-264, but then…

    Mpeg 4 is a good bet, select a frame size around 320×240, 15 fps, limit your data rate to around 800 and see what size file you get. If it’s too big lower the data rate.

    I would convert it to either a flash .swf or .flv I’ve had very few people complain of not being able to see our online demos. Quicktime can be a hit or miss.
