[Daniel Sepulveda] “Will Photo Jpeg work in windows?”

Yes

[Daniel Sepulveda] “Mp4 part 2 with H264?”

H.264 is MPEG-4 part 10:

MPEG-4 pt 2 is available in Quicktime on Mac and PC

Try Quicktime PhotoJPEG or indeed MPEG-4 Part 2

Huh? What?
With H.264 as the CODEC in all, mov, MP4 and F4V will only vary in file size ever so slightly. Like the different between a sheet of paper and a sheet of thin card.

The quality will be identical.

Drew, some of what you say is good advice, the other stuff is crap. Sorry to be brutally honest.

You really need to tell us how this file is really, truly, actually being delivered – either from a Flash Streaming Server OR from a web server using HTTP.

Then you need to tell us what the datarate of that file is. NOT its file size.

As I said in my last post if the file is 9 MegaBytes per second then most people will have a problem viewing it over the internet, streamed or downloaded.

Dropping the frame rate was also a requirement when the playback device simply couldn’t cope with a full frame rate due to lack of processor power. This is simply not the case anymore.

[Drew Jensen] “Q:Compression always CBR (since its for streaming)?
A: I actually use VBR, and it seems to work best for my particular product and method of delivery. I think most would say there is technically no wrong answer as long as it suits what YOU have and need to happen.”

Are you sure you’re talking about streaming, not progressive download? – RTSP requires CBR, VBR would almost certain fail to deliver.

[Drew Jensen] “Q: Im getting 7/9mbytes flv files, could this be considered heavy for web streaming playback?
A: Not heavy, but on the upper end. What bitrate are you using? Codec? Audio bitrate? Etc… I could go on for quite a while.”

Utter confusion here! ‘7-9Mbytes’ refers to a file size (without a per second or /s at the end). File size has no relevance if the file is being streamed, that is if you are using the word ‘streaming’ in the true sense of the terminology. If the file is being delivered as a progressive download otherwise known as HTTP stream then it has a relevance.
As such, if it is a 9MB file delivered over HTTP then it is a very low demand delivery. If it’s a 9MB per second file delivered of RTSP – true streaming then it’s an impossibly heavy delivery 9MB/s = 72Mbits per second.

[Tiago Casais] “Should i make the ae render in flv, or avi/mov and then transform to flv in the compressor ?”

Make the AE render in AVI or mov – like I said in my previous post.

There is no need to change the frame rate – why would you want to?

Yes, certainly worth a try.

Are you suing the Quicktime or Mainconcept H.264 codec?

Here’s a good start

1024×576 is PAL square pixel – not 1050×576

Do not reduce your frame rate.
Resize in AE
Export as ProRes if you have it or PhotoJPEG at 90% or uncompressed

[Tiago Casais] “Any commonly known way to reduce noise while preparing the comp to render within AE?(some filter or some other ae feature i should know about?)”

Noise in motion graphics? What do you mean?
