I have the data rate set to Automatic. I agree with that quote, its tricky…Thanks for the response, I’ll be sure to post on the compression techniques forum as well.

Ok, im back at it with this. I exported the original using Animation format at 100% quality. Now its about exporting using Quicktime PRO. I noticed that exporting it using QT as H.262, it sorta washes out the color. Researching it, its because of the gamma. I downloaded a plugin that supposedly resolved the colors being washed out from here: https://byteful.com/blog/2010/07/how-to-fix-the-h264-gamma-brightness-bug-in-quicktime/
I did all that, it looks better than using QT’s H.264 codec. One little problem though. Theres a red bar in the video that loses some of its quality and it blurs out. Here’s an image showing the difference: https://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm230/AlexKittavongPortfolio/video_compression.png
This video will be played on the web and i want it to play smoothly on iPod and iPad. So i kept the bitrate at 2500. Anyone have any idea on how to fix that issue with the red bar or is this the best ill get.

Tried googling for adobe media encoder and apple compressor. cant find a site to download from. Is it free?

O sorry, it will be used off a MAC MINI playing off of quicktime. the video will loop for about 8 hours. It’s a 7 minute video.

I used Animation codec for another video project file. That one is mainly just a slide show of images. It plays back rather smoothly, didnt skip or anything like that. What about PNG codec?
I use Photo JPEG for another video im doing, that involves images and recorded HD videos. Thats rendered out of AE. So in QuickTime. Do i use the same codec and turn down the quality down a bit? Or keep the quality high?

lol, no im sorry. i thought i made it clear when i said “I use the Animation codec for some of my work…. I use imTOO. I convert it to an HD MOV file.Video settings at highest and it still looks crappy. What do you suggest?” Sorry for assuming. I am a MAC person actually, so i know the difference between MOV and CODECS. =]
Not trying to be an ass, just saying, sorry if my comments above offends you in any way. Anyways, I used the Animation Codec. Note, my video contains 3d Anaglyph images. So, color is more sensitive to the eye when you have the glasses on, thus seeing the pixelation and blending overlays.
I have quicktime pro. never used it to convert videos or anything though. Got a good tutorial or tips for me on that?
Thanks,

Regarding to his same question. I use the Animation codec for some of my work. My problem is what software should i use to decompress it? I use imTOO. I convert it to an HD MOV file. Video settings at highest and it still looks crappy. What do you suggest?

That one sorta helps, i guess thats the best im going to get. I learned about he 3D glasses from this tutorial: https://web.me.com/pxlguy/AEtutorials/tutorial-1.html
he also used a 2d image to pull it off, his is just a little more complex =x. I didnt even know you can script in AE.

Gotcha, what do you think about iDVD? I have that on my mac right now. It seems that the DVDSP only comes with the Final Cut Studio, which i cannot afford. I got to check and see if i have adobe encore. I thought i did when i installed the creative suite. Thanks for the tip. Ill let you know of the outcome.

Gotcha, i converted them to a Dvix AVI format last night. Someone also told me that i should convert it to the dimensions i have set for my project. For example, my project is 1280 x 720 and the video is 1920 x 1080. I converted it down to 1280 x 720. Good practice?
