640x480 sounds great, considering: A) a lot of videobloggers are using 480 as the width of their videos to fit inside the boundaries of their blog, and
B) with the new iPod specs, you can make 640x480 H264 m4v files that will run on the iPod. I'm pretty sure Rox is already using that format for http://beachwalks.tv. I would assume it's going to become more common as people plan to show their videos not only on the net but on whatever services are coming down the line to broadcast media on televison. Having the size limitation less than 640x480 would run into the same problem if the "standard" went up to 640. Is there a size (data) limitation on the files also? That could cause the same issue for a file that's "legal" frame-size-wise, but fails the data limit and gets resized. -- Bill C. http://ReelSolid.TV --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, "Mike Hudack" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > OK, guys, I've found the problem.
