AW: Flash or Quicktime?

I am still a little bit puzzled with the technical background of H264. The QT7 player should support H264, but do I need a separate H264 codec installer to encode? It seems there are different suppliers for this codec? Which one is the best and where do I get it from? Can I use it in Sorenson

Hmm, didn't thought about that yet. I have never compared quality and size against a video, but giving each frame a unique filename sounds to quite some work Thanks for the hint Tiemo -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- Von: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:use-revolution- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Im Auftrag

Hi Colin, interesting aspect, I have to check, if my encoder supports H264 and how about size/quality. The only thing I have read about H264 is that it takes much processor power and could get into troubles on old machines. Up to now I wanted to use Sorenson Video3 Pro codec. Yes I thought about

The main arguments against animated gifs would be the lack of color range, and the file size. If there are 17000 files of 1-4 seconds each, so let's say 36000 seconds worth altogether, that's the same amount of time as five full length Hollywood movies, and with double layer discs being enough

If you want to stick to a 'movie' format: You could package up the Theora codecs with your installer (for each OS) but you'd have to re-encode them for Theora (there's plenty of free apps that will do this). Theora may be 'new/beta'ish' but has been in solid use in some large projects for a
