Or even h264 (mpeg4/avc... the codec used for HDTV) with aac in mp4-container? Would give another factor in size fr same quality! ;-) Though ffmpeg needs a lot of tweaking (2-3 lines of options/parameters, changing with every snapshot... like in the early lame/mp3-days) to get propper results... :-( ciao Ralph ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
