For reason I'm ignorant of, h.264 AVC 3-pass exported from the free Mediacoder front-end will not display in my browser under quicktime alternative plugins. It's displays fine with ffdshow, VLC and GOM player. It would have been great for preparing video for web sharing, but Blip.TV didn't seem

My bad Steve, yeah your right its low-complexity instead of simple. Now that we have our words right again I ask the community, does anyone know of a good transcoder that handles the low-complexity h.264 MP4 conversions (640x480 ipod compatable with bitrate manipulation) on the PC? I've tried

MPEG Streamclip, free download, has an ipod setting with options for multipass and bit-rate limiting. I like it, but I have no ipod to test it out. MPEG Streamclip has a 2-gig input limit, fine for joining and transcoding from VOB, if you have DVD sources for your COUHF show. I run into

Ahh I get you, the confusion is still about the term 'simple profile'. Simple profile is, as I said before, an mpeg4 profile, not a h264 one. Ive looked at the Apple specs, and I think you mean 'low complexity baseline profile'... * H.264 video, up to 1.5 Mbps, 640 x 480, 30 frames per

Speaking of settings, Does anyone know of a program (on PC) that allows bitrate manipulation of h.264 codec MP4s in 640x480? I have quicktime pro but you cant go 640x480 AND manipulate bitrate that I can figure out because they don't have simple profile yet just base. Rev. Chumley

Hmm, I seem to be able to do it ok in QT Pro on my PC. (There is a settings button where you can set all the h.264 settings, but you have to then click an entirely different size button to set the size). I'll try to create a video w/ these settings on my PC today and out it online somewhere. On

Hey David, Thanks for looking into that, oh but let me clarify. I need the resulting MP4 with h.264 codec to be 640x480 and iPod compatable. I could of course use the m4v export to ipod option but my show is very very long (usually 1 hour 30 mins)and the straight export make the file size WAY

hmm Im not sure I understand. Do you not see the limit bitrate option in the h.264 settings? Or are you saying that regarless of the bitrate settings the standard h.264 codec in windows QTPro cant be ipod compatabe? I've not done alot of testing ... just been clicking around in the options

Baseline works fine in h.264 320x240 for ipods, but baseline profile in 640x480 h.264 is not ipod compatable at any bitrate. In order for it to be ipod compatable at 640x480 it has to be in the new Simple h.264 profile. I've tried every bitrate I can think of in h.264 with baseline profile but
