Choose an MPEG-1 preset in compressor!

Are you sampling down from 48K to 44K? (What is your source audio format?)

[Ryan Spanger] “Is there a way to do this using Mac/FCP/Compressor?”
Yes, easily. You’ll need to find out if it’s MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 first.

[Chris Blair] “We’re considering H264 too, but one reason it wasn’t on my list is our marketing person wants to be able to take the same video files and put them on our company laptop and build playlists for presentations when he’s out of the office. When we’ve tested H264 files at full resolution and high quality (5-7Mb/sec and we’re using Carbon Coder which I believe uses MainConcept for H264), our 6 year old HP laptop has a hard time playing them without some hiccups here and there. The laptop plays all the others without issue. “
Another reason to consider x264, at least give it a try, it’s free after all!
You might find that HDMI does not give as good a picture from a PC as DVI does. That’s certainly my experience and that of many others I’ve come across on my internet travels. It may well be worth hunting down a panel that supports DVI, certainly if you plan to show some text on screen, if it’s all video then HDMI should be fine.

You simply cannot beat the quality and efficiency of x264. MeGUI is probably the best front end for x264 encoding. There is a learning curve but it’s well worth it.
If you don’t want to go down the x264 route then next best would be H.264 (Dicas or Mainconcept SDK) followed by VC-1
On another note, you’ll be killing some quality by using a VGA connection. Any reason why you can’t go to DVI for the connection to the display, that way you’ll be keeping an end to end digital signal.
Scaling of SD is usually best left to the display unless you spend a fortune on scaler – depsite the fact that one of the best value scalers is found in the range of Toshiba DVD players such as the XDE600 Upscaling DVD Player which can be had for less than £100.

Yes, that is pretty high. I just monitored my bandwidth as it was playing.

Between 1.3Mb/s & 1.7Mb/s

I’d also try CBR while you’re at it.

[Trent Diggity] “Source content is 30fps, 720×486. Animation compression out of after effects”
It looks like you made one very common error, you’ve rendered out a square pixel project to a non-aquare pixel frame size and this will be degrading the picture quality some what. You should have rendered out at 640×480 Square pixel
Additionally, are you using CBR or VBR, 1 pass or 2 pass in compressor?

Your settings are fine, but it depends on your audience and their connection speeds.
