    Done correctly, x264 will be way ahead of all of the others.

    So my scoring would be:

    1st: x264
    2nd: Dicas
    3rd: Mainconcept/Sorenson.
    4th: Apple

    Hummmmmm.

    Interesting.

    Can you do the same screen shots with the files opened in VLC rather than the QT player?

    And just so I’ve got the layout of the screen grabs correct, are you saying that bottom left is Apple and bottom right is x.264?

    You do NOT want to deliver MPEG-2 from any website.

    When you say ’30 mb’, do you mean Megabit or MegaByte? there’s a factor of 8x difference between the two. (MegaByte is use for file sizes, Megabit is used for data transfer)

    Anyhow I’d use for either MPEG-4 or H.264. with either of those it would be difficult to get anywhere near 30 MegaByte for 1 minute’s worth.

    Have a look at this calculator:

    [Greg Schoenbaechler] “1. Whenever I export it as an avi in cinepack compression the quality is sketchy and if I convert it in QT Pro as DV/DVCPro NTSC of course it kicks it to 720×480.”

    Cinepak is one of the oldest codecs known to mankind it in use many many years before the internet was around for most people.

    Bottom line, don’t use it. Ever.

    [Greg Schoenbaechler] “but do need to get an mpeg 1 of 2 or good looking avi”

    Still way too wide a goal post. There’s a huge difference between MPEG-1 and MPEG-2. What EXACTLY do you need to deliver and what is it going to be used for?

    [ryan leith] “compressing movie shot on RED for blu-ray DVD”

    Blu-ray or DVD? They are two, almost totally different things.

    [ryan leith] “However, im not sure what compression to use and what settings to use with that compression type. mpeg-2? h.264? What about bit rate? “

    What exactly are you trying to author? Blu-Ray (Which DVDSP does not support) or a DVD video?

    If it’s a DVD video then you have to use MPEG-2. If you are mastering a Blu-Ray then it can be either MPEG-2 or H.264.

    As for bitrates – try starting with one of the compressor presets.

    On one have you have shot on a beautiful high end camera which takes much skill to use properly, yet on the other hand you don’t seem to have the beginnings of disc authoring knowledge, perhaps you should hand that part of the process over to somebody who has the skills, it would be a shame to ruin your shoot after spending all that money!

    [Jeff Raatz] “I just purchased the Sorenson Squeeze 6 after being continually disappointed with the quality of HD to SD encoded files in compressor in Final Cut Pro 7. “

    You’re not doing it right, do a search through the posts here, compressor is capable of great quality, if used correctly.

    [Greg Schoenbaechler] “Whenever I convert the movie into a 480×360 avi the quality is lackluster”

    AVI what? AVI is just a container and is outdated and unsupported. What AVI codec are you targeting?

    [Greg Schoenbaechler] “Any suggestions on ways for me to export it into a mpeg, wmv, mpg or avi at high quality? I figure I can do Flip4Mac but I don’t want to spend $99 for something I don’t anticipate on using very often.”

    mpg and MPEG are the same thing: MPEG 1 or 2. If you want to do wmv on a Mac, you need flip4mac or bootcamp into windows and use Windows Media Encoder.
