A while ago, someone asked about which QT Codec was best for Carrara animation.
Here
is a list of helpful sites and my conclusions:
http://www.simnet.is/klipklap/quicktime/ (list of which codecs are supported by
which
players)
http://people.csail.mit.edu/tbuehler/video/codecs/quicktime.html (explanation
of
different codecs)
http://www.kenstone.net/fcp_homepage/qt_movies_from_fcp.html (explanation of
different settings)
Based on this information, the top 3 choices for streaming video are
- H264
PRO: best quality/size ratio
CON: least compatible, requires QT player 7 or newer
- MPEG4
PRO: second best quality/size ratio
CON: very compatible, requires QT player 6 or newer
- Sorenson Video 3
PRO: good quality/size ratio
CON: most compatible, requires QT player 5.02 or newer
I'll use MPEG4 for most of my animation now. But obviously I'll also keep an
uncompressed
master too.
