This kind of question generally gets ignored because it’s way too vague. We need to know what tools you have to do the compression and how it’s going to be delivered, at a minimum. (e.g. What’s high resolution to you?)

I suggest you spend an hour or so reading through similar posts that have been made in this forum.

Sorry to be harsh but you’ve not given us anything much to go on.

CS3 supports H.264, it just not as easily accessed as it is in CS4.

In AME CS4 (on the Mac) I select FLV/F4V as the format and then in the Export settings window choose the ‘F4V – HD 720p’ preset.

The resulting file will have the .f4v extension, not .3gp which should import directly into you container just like an FLV

640×480 square pixels = 720×480 non-square pixel NTSC – for it to be true NTSC the frame rate would need to be 29.97fps as well….

Thanks Chris, at least give me a chance to answer a question directed at me please! It’s only polite.

Scott, 3D animation is terribly hard to encode cleanly as it’s usually so ‘crisp’ and sharp, thus easily leading to blockiness or pixelation. Animators often find that ‘softening’ the render results in a better looking result when compressed.

You don’t have to use the H.264 Quicktime CODEC, you can also get very good results from a product called Handbrake which uses an open source version of H.264 called x264, which is in fact higher quality than Quicktime. Simply load up you AVI and choose one of the presets and change the output frame size, Couldn’t be easier.

As I said in my other post, a 52 inch display is going to be brutal to your content, unless it’s perfect.

I don’t know what your content is like but you should be able to get a decent image at something like 4Mb/s using H.264 and a good quality transcoder.

Don’t use vp6 flash but rather H.264 at a relatively high datarate. Only top quality 1080p is going to look any good on a monitor that size.

The Leadtek is capable of capturing either MPEG-1, MPEG-2 or MPEG-4. What have you got selected?

What MPEG-2 settings have you tried?

How are you capturing the the File TV source?
