I used h264. Streaming. Restrict to 2400 kbits/sec.

best quality. File Format: Quicktime movie. Changed the extension to mp4.

Yeah, it looks horrible at 2400 streaming : ( and at a small frame no less

Thank you so much, Marc for the detailed reply. I had watched a few youtube vids, but turns out the info was not helpful. I think my not knowing about the possibility of using h264 to get to mpeg was the issue!

Very helpful, Craig. Thank you so much.

My film is 1 hr, 51 min so I am trying the QT movie with a 2400 kbp streaming rate to get me to 2 gigs. Hopefully the resolution will be decent.

Thanks for the calculator Craig. I will use it. Still not clear on where to plug in the numbers though in Compressor’s many settings.

Also, the website requires an MPEG file (or FLV) for streaming. So I can’t compress using h264…

Thanks,

Thomas

Hi Ivan,

Glad I found this thread bc I have a similar issue. Hope there is not a problem with piggy backing.

I have a 37gig QT file. Using FCP 7 and Compressor. I have to be doing something wrong with my settings.

Want to get close to, but not over, 2 gig mpeg file for streaming.

I added the 37gig file and used the Quicktime 6 compatible setting of MPEG-4-800kps Streaming. Got an MPEG of 7 gigs, resolution was fine but way too big.

Then added that 7gig file as my reference and did a MPEG 4 again, got a 650mb MPEG with terrible resolution.

Can you advise me as to how I should be approaching this?

Thanks much,

Thomas

brilliant! I was clicking on the project that was already up expecting it to be converted on the same timeline.

Thanks so much, Rafael!

Thanks to you, Neil. I am using FCP 7. The settings in the log and transfer preferences box are

Neil, for the 1920×1080 timeline it is not automatically selecting it.

if I go to Select Sequence Preset for the blank timeline which of the 1920xx1080s do I select?

apple pro res 422, apple pro res444, hdv?

Thanks,

Thomas
