Compression ???

[Teriander]

Oh Hells yea!! Thats what Im talking about! I'm new to VJing and photos like this make me wish I were in this guy's shoes! Once I find a good compression codec for my video, Im ready to start!

Bart, It looks like you really know what you're doing. Can you PLEASE tell me what compression you use and resolution? Its driving me crazy testing all these codecs and formats and can't find one that works best for me. I'll use exactly what you tell me.

i,ve put your post in a new thread so we can keep that one on topic. I guess at the moment it,s best to spend a little money and buy a mjpeg codec. we have the morgan mjpeg codec and it,s quite fast with good image quality.

good luck!

intel indeo 5.10 also works nice and smooth...

Sorry for posting this topic on the "gig pics here" topic Bart, Thanks for replying! I have no problem with buying a good codec. I just want to make sure I buy the right one. Right now Im using the trial version of Morgan MJpeg. I think I need to tweek the settings because I can't seem to get smaller file size than the Cinepak Codec (with same or better quality that is). Thanks again!

dv is a possibility if u have a fast pc but the pegasus mjpeg codec i'm testing at the moment is looking very promising. Don't use cinepak it's just too bad and always save your shit in dv for later purpose. good luck

i use for very long clips mpg1. its fast and small and works nice with resolume.
normally i render my clips in indeo 5.10 in 640*480. i choose this resolution, because if want to use these clips again for avideoproject, they are big enough to resize to full video resolution. for resolume might be the best 400*300 and output 800*600.
