On the Mac there's an App called Mediacleaner (don't know if there is a Win adaption) that is _very_ useful. In Mediacleaner you can open a QT or other format, and resize, crop, set compression method etc for audio and/ or video. Then just hit the Process button and go have a coffee.
If you're comfortable using preselected rates/ settings you can do most of it in Apple Quicktime Player Pro too (another excellent piece of software). Open the movie, File> Export movie as QT movie> Use: and there are the compression rates. Try 2x CD-ROM Sorensson. -A. >I compressed the file but how do I limit the data rate? >----- Original Message ----- >From: "Andy Innes" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Sent: Friday, August 16, 2002 18:26 >Subject: Re: <lingo-l> Flickering Quicktime Movie > > >> Have you compressed the file as much as possible and limited the data rate >> for CD playback? >> >> A >> ----- Original Message ----- >> From: "Beertje" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >> Sent: Saturday, August 17, 2002 12:14 AM >> Subject: <lingo-l> Flickering Quicktime Movie >> >> >> > Can anyone tell me why my QuickTime move is flickering in the projector? >I >> > plays fine in the dir file but not in the actual projector. >> > >> > Thanks in advance >> > >> > George Carlile >> > [EMAIL PROTECTED] >> > >> > [To remove yourself from this list, or to change to digest mode, go to >> http://www.penworks.com/lingo-l.cgi To post messages to the list, email >> [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Problems, email [EMAIL PROTECTED]).
