H264 has sure had a lot of buzz about it everywhere. I wonder if one of you can answer a few questions I have. I've looked around on the web and googled but I'm not fining the answers.
1) I have Adobe Premiere Elements and it outputs h264. When I tried it though, the bitrates, unlike the other codecs, are on a scale that it huge, hundreds of thousands of bps. Why? 2) The result, even at a high bps looked like crap, lots of artifacts. Every other format looked better. There must be a magic setting I'm missing. 3) I'm creating videos at 480x360 24fps. Is this part of the problem? I h264 related more to 320x240 or some other size? Links to good references would be appreciated. I know a lot of technical details are available in the wikipedia but I'm looking for the practical knowledge from people like you. Anyone have a practical page they've done or suggestions? We're at a critical stage in video becomeing popular. It's too bad there's no standard, I'm afraid Flash is the closest we have to one. (Opinions solicited) tia, /r
