Btw, what exactly (monitor hardware) are you using to view these clips?

BTW: Have you take these still into photoshop and done any differencing tests on them?

[Elisa Monti] “The principal problem is that the black color is’n absolutely black on PC (but on my MAC is”

How have you ensured that the monitors on both the Macs and the PCs are calibrated exactly the same? And are they from the exact same manufacture and factory batch?

Obviously the graphics cards are unlikely to be the same but I guess you will have taken that into consideration?

I suggest you head over here and ask the question:
https://forum.doom9.org/forumdisplay.php?f=77
It’s where all the x264 developers hang out.

[Joseph W. Bourke] “Generally speaking, a website doesn’t lay down the teaching materials in any cohesive format. A book does, even if it’s 12 minutes out of date. “

Agreed, but it’s much easier to search a website. That book was first published in April 2009 and probably took at least 6 months to write, so more like 18 months out of date.

Forget a book for $60, it’s already out of date.

I’ve historically (the last 20 years or so) found it the case that those who don’t have Mac’s in their businesses or indeed haven’t even used a Mac in anger, generally don’t take any notice of, or poo poo any Mac or Apple related news. (These are the same people who insist on using MAC rather than Mac). Those that for some reason would prefer if Apple didn’t exist and hide their head in the sand over it all.

The success of Final Cut has rocked the production community.
The success of the iPod rocked the PMP industry.
The success of iTunes has totally changed the music industry.
The success of iPhone totally kicked an entire industries’ arses, taking them totally by surprise and changing the landscape for good. Huge players in those industries will spend the rest of their existence’s trying to catch up and will never succeed.

Instead of send to compressor, make absolutely sure everything is rendered in the sequence then export as a Quicktime Movie using Sequence settings.

[Chris Blair] “Lordy…I don’t what you have against me”

I have nothing against you at all.

[Chris Blair] “but all I’m trying to do is provide a little perspective”

Likewise.

[Chris Blair] ” We work with web designers all the time and the ones we work with are NOT eager to dive into HTML 5″

My mileage is different from yours. I live in a different part of the world from you. That’s my perspective. If I ran a web company I’d insist my coders and designers were already working with HTML5, that they already had stuff up their sleeves’. I wouldn’t want to be caught out.

Please read – https://youtube-global.blogspot.com/2010/01/introducing-youtube-html5-supported.html

“HTML5 is a new web standard that is gaining popularity rapidly”

[Chris Blair] “he discusses the lack of agreement on standards and the stumbling blocks it presents”

Like I said these are rather moot points going by what’s happened historically and how rapidly things are changing.

[Chris Blair] “I’m just trying to point out that it’s going to be several years before there’s widespread adoption of it and Flash will be relevant for years to come. “

That’s your opinion Chris. It’s not fact.

What is fact is that Flash (most importantly Flash Video) does not work on the fastest growing hardware platforms out there, namely handheld devices and most importantly the iPhone, and the soon to appear iPad. It’s these devices that are driving innovation.

I firmly believe that Flash (Video) has had it’s day. It may take several years for HTML5 video to completely replace Flash but the ball has started to roll. Don’t underestimate the powerhouse that is Apples mobile devices!

[Chris Blair] “If you’d like this forum to become a monologue”

Bear in mind that I simply respond to people here. Despite being highly opinionated, I offer my advice, help and thoughts. Take it or leave it.

[Chris Blair] “but I thought the purpose of this site was to be a community where people share information to get perspective and be able to make informed decisions. “

You always bring this up Chris. It is, and that’s exactly what you and I are doing, in our own special ways!
