thanks guys – sorry I wasn’t more specific. The footage is from Canon 5D and 7D, shot in 24p. I am using FCP 6.0.5 and limping through compressor. I want to deliver final 1080 HD videos on a flash drive to my clients instead of blu-ray. I suppose to make it most user friendly, I should compress so the files work in both mac and PC. My thought is that they will then be able to watch their film both on their laptop/computer and also then stream it through their computer to their HDTV. I was hoping .mov files would work on both mac and pc. When I compress for DVD, I export a QT movie and then pull that into compressor. I just don’t know what settings to use on compressor to have the HD files ready to copy over to a flash drive so they can play them on their computer. I know H.264 is great, just overwhelmed with what to do in compressor.

thanks, but I am not as worried about it being a small file as I want it to look AMAZING! I am fine with putting a 2 hour film onto a 16GB flash drive.
