CODEC

[mikko]

I wanna know, which codec is the best to compress the video?!!
I have problems with xvid, divx and cinepak codecs, but indeo 5.10 works very good!!
In xvid, divx and cinepak the picture is like in windows media player when you listen audio with vizualations!!LOL
Ok, the picture is bad resolution but bitrate is very high!
What should I do?

It really depends on what you want to use the video for....

I've not had any experience with compressing from within Digital Fusion, but from Premiere, if something is going on CD, I'll often use Cinepak (which works fine for me....)

I do have problems with DivX playing back in Windows Media Player - I have to use the DivX Player for that.....

final movie will go on dvd, vhs and cd in xvid codec or maybe mpeg.
But i am making color correction in df but i have to export the clip with one codec!is indeo good enough?what is the point with those codecs?

mikko

If it's going to end up on DVD, then you will need to have it as mpeg-2 at some stage (as that's what DVD uses..)

I'd stick with MPEG all the way, if I were you....

If it's going out on the internet too, then go for DivX or xVid
