The main Betamax failed was because Sony wouldn’t licence its use for the pornographic industry.

[Troy Lanier] “The same file is only six minutes in length on a PC. “ I’ll correct that for you; Windows ‘reports’ that the file is only six minutes in length.
Q[Troy Lanier] “While the file will play all the way to the end in windows media player (it plays to the credits, saying the actual ten minute mark is six minutes into the movie)”
One of the many reasons why people prefer Mac to Windows.
It’s easy to say that it’s a problem with windows, which it is, but that’s not going to please the client.
Nothing further that I can add, you are not doing anything wrong as far as I can tell.

How about something from the most powerful online industry out there:

Look, Flash is going to be around forever, probably.
Flash is not going to dominate the online video market forever, its days are numbered, almost certainly. Flash is obviously mature and full of features lacking in HTML 5 which is catching up rapidly and has the backing of the very strong and vocal army of ‘iDevice’ owners.
Adobe has been terribly lazy with Flash, it’s way behind the curve and they can;t keep up with new technology.
I remember the days when people said that no other format would ever take over from Windows Media video on the web. Look at where WMV is now, there’s more MPEG-1 out there than WMV!
HTML 5 is in a position to excel where Flash fails especially with video. Flash is a CPU and memory hog, HTML 5 in comparison is a skinny supermodel.
WebM, we’ll see. Just because Google is behind it does not mean it’s good or that it will succeed. Look at the Android market, it’s already beginning to fall apart at the seams.

[Stephanie Brodeur] “Could the problem be with my sequence? If so, what should I check? “
Who knows? –
[Stephanie Brodeur] “Is there a way to compress differently so that there is not such drastic degradation? I understand that it will look different than the original, but right now, it is unwatchable.
“Again, who knows, you haven’t provided us with any useful information. We have no idea what preset you used or the various encoding parameters you may have entered.
[Stephanie Brodeur] “I toyed with several setting and the results are not any better.”
Toyed with what settings?
Please help us to help you.

Xvid is a Quicktime component, you need Quicktime pro to transcode to it.

Or you could use ffmpegX

[criis daw] “is after effects any good at mpeg/h264 compression ? or should i be using compression software ? “
Use dedicated software AE will not be brilliant.

I’d probably use MPEG-2 and use the Apple DVD player to loop it.
Otherwise high bitrate MPEG-4 (Not H.264 if you are worried about the specs of the iBook).
