What is the difference between Multiplexing: DVD and Mulitplexing: None

[Chad Ramos]

So you are suggesting I should export via “Video for Windows” and use a third party encoder?

I am sorry…I ment using the render queue. I do believe there is a mix up. The default format for the render queue on a windows platform is “Video For Windows”. Which shows up as “No Compressiong” on “Output Module Settings”. I just did this to a 10 min composition and it rendered a .avi that is 48+ gigs. I believe this seems correct considering the size of the file. Does this seem correct to you?

As stated in my above post the duration of the video is 10 mins. The render matches up to the same duration. Which only leads to me to believe that 48.1 gb file is the proper “uncompressed” file. Especially considering when rendering it stated “No Compression” and “lossless”. None the less thanks for the help. I will take a look at a few other resources to help further verify.

Add to render queue > output module > format = quicktime > format options = animation > ok > render

Then compress it in ame if you have cs4.
As long as you have qt installed on your pc you should have that option.
That is the best solution for what you’re wanting.

I don’t know what this means but your suggested method actually yeiled a smaller file then my early course of action.

Quicktime Animation = 37.0 gb
“Video for Windows” = 48.1 gb

So I assume the “Video for Windows” setting (which exports what I believe is a uncompressed avi) would still be the better choice.

What do you think.

Animation is a lossless codec when set to 100%. I suggested it because it can support alpha channels (if millions of colors+ is selected), it’s 4:4:4, it’s cross platform and any setup with Quicktime installed will be able to work with the file.
Unless you have a workflow issue that requires avi I would stick with the QT format.
