[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 AVI is just a container and is outdated and unsupported.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?
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.
[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.
2. Lol I thought the mpeg/mpg thing was weird too. Thanks what my website said so just going verbatim. Looked into it a little more and I’m fine without having to flip it to a wmv but do need to get an mpeg 1 of 2 or good looking avi. Any are fine but I’m just not sure how to go about it.
