If I’m not mistaken, the jing codec is MP4 h.264. The native mp4 files that I save from jing will play in flowplayer, for example. I understand that they’re specialists, but I wonder where I can get one of those specialist codecs so that I can export higher quality edited video.
When you say “Do your edits at high quality then export to a dedicated transcoding application for coding to MPEG-4”, do you mean to export in uncompressed avi format and convert to mp4 using another application?
When you say “H.264 is perfectly capable of very high quality and small file sizes when used for screen capture, if you transcode it correctly.” I agree, but I’ve heard that not all implementations of the mp4, h.264 codec are created equal. Apparently there are some that are faster and higher quality than others. My question is, which is best and why?
It also seems to stand to reason that one codec might perform better for screen capture than others.
