    I’m not sure why you are choosing a streaming setting but try these:

    Export as you have already done:

    In compressor:

    Choose H.264 download
    Current frame rate
    framesize 640×360
    Keyframes – some say every 30 (or 25 for PAL) some say every 150 while others say 10x your source frame rate….so for NTSC that would be every 300. – Experiment..
    Datarate 1800Kb/sec
    Deinterlace using compressors frame control settings not the deinterlace filter. If you choose one of the complicated settings like Motion Adaptive, be prepared to wait a while.
    Audio AAC
    Sample rate 44.1
    Datarate 128Kb/s

    Let us know how you get on..

    Mick,

    It would really help us if you detailed EXACTLY what settings & workflow produced the best results so far, at least then we’ll have a starting block to work from to improve things.

    Bob,

    Do you search/scan through this forum, there have been a number of posts relating to similar issues to this recently.

    (Clue – use compressors frame controls)

    Sorry, I missed that you are using compressor, but I’m confused by what you call ‘plugging back in’. Compressor will do all you need in one go, just make sure you are using compressors ‘frame controls’. If you are unfamiliar with them I’ve answered a bunch of posts recently on this forum about them.

    first of all use a proper compression application.

    Next, the correct order should be; deinterlace then crop then scale

    With Squeeze, your mileage may vary….

    Search this forum for all the problems associated with Squeeze.

    I’d recommend Episode.

    Try it without cropping.

    If you crop without deinterlacing you mess up your fields and the result is what you see in the pic.

    When you do crop you need to make sure that you retain the correct aspect ratio, your cropping values don’t do that.

    Cropping values must always be even numbers.

    Ronald,

    Sorenson 3 codec used to have to have a sync issue about 5 years ago, if you turned on b-frames and was easily fixed.

    You suggestion of slipping sync in FCP may work but it’s not an acceptable workaround for most editors or edits.

    I think the OPs issue is something else as the Sorenson CODEC has been updated (and fixed) a few times since then.

    Procoder from Canopus – cheap.
    CarbonCoder from Rhozet – expensive.

    Plus a whole bunch of free or very cheap apps like Super from eRightStuff

  • There’s no file size limit that I know of for Quicktime.
