It’s very unlikely that you’ll find a transcoder that will work to non-standard resolutions like that, but you can give this a try –

Even if it does produce files to that resolution it’s even more unlikely that you’ll find anything that can play them back!

You might get better quality out of a dedicated encoding package but if you are then uploading to the likes of Vimeo, you’re unlikely to be able to tell the difference with the end result.

If it’s not broke don’t try and fix it.
Or, if your clients are happy don’t upset them by going with a a different format just to get a few % better quality.
As I said, the StreamZ is a quality piece of kit.

What are you wanting to improve/make better?
If your pictures are acceptable at only 50Kb/s and the audio is OK then you’ll not be able to improve on it using a different format like WMV.
If you’re coming from tape into the Rapids then you have access to their great hardware deinterlacer, not that it will be that stressed dealing with seminar type material!

First thing to do is correct your frame size.
Check out this page for the best guide to sizes:

Are you using CBR or VBR encoding?
A standalone encoding package will probably up the quality but give the above a try first.

I assume that choosing another H.264 CODEC didn’t work?
p.s. IIRC Ben did a training DVD on Squeeze 4.5, he didn’t write a book on it.

Check page 186 of the compressor 3 manual – it’s all explained clearly in there. If you are using compressor 2 just check out the MPEG-2 section.

I don’t think you’ll see too much quality difference between Mainconcept and Sorenson H.264 seeing as your video is just going to be re-compressed when uploaded to Vimeo anyway.
Many developers have been struggling with the train wreck of Vista, don’t blame Sorenson for that.
Expression Encoder, while a nice package, only offers Windows Media output, as such, it’s a one trick pony that can’t be compared to the likes of Squeeze or Procoder.
Many recommend Squeeze based on its price and apparent ease of use, however far too many report problems with it and the license restrictions are are plain stupid.
Please let us know how you got on.

Nothing wrong with your settings. I don’t use the Windows version but in the Mac version I have a choice of Video CODEC, you too should have a choice of MainConcept or Sorenson AVC. Try the Sorenson CODEC if that doesn’t work there’s something amiss with either the Squeeze installation or something deeper in Vista.
You could try installing Squeeze on another machine
