Best quality .AVI for PC viewing

How can i export with best quality AVI for PC viewing. HAS to be AVI. I use the expert settings with keyframe of 10 and 100 kb/sec max, and it is very "blocky".. How to improve the quality.

i created a login just to reply to you cuz i was trying to do the same. i found the answer on: http://www.humnet.ucla.edu/itc/resources/powerpointav/pptvideo.pdf
basically, use "expert settings" "movie to AVI" "options" "settings" "cinepak" "millions of colors" "high" "30 fps" "key frame every 300 frames" "limit data to 400kbytes/sec"
following the above instruction, i was able to export a movie to a decent size avi file that plays on wmp on a pc. (i didn't use sound cuz i didn't have any but there is instruction for sound on the pdf file)
i use a mac but have to create videos that can be viewed on any computer and can be used on a powerpoint presentation. i was so happy when i found a way to make good quality (actually i used "best" rather than "high" under quality), not choppy video for pc and mac viewing.
hope this helps!

  • What's the best quality export for a 720 X 480 size, 24fps mp4 file?

    Whats the best quality export for a 720 X 480 size, 24fps mp4 file?
    This movie trailer will be sent to a distributer overseas.
    The export I been resorting to lately is MPEG 2 DV High Quality as oppose to anything HDTV because it just shrinks the picture, obviously lol
    Do I have anymore options besides Mpeg 2: NTSC DV High Quality?

    Lagarith is a codec that you install separately.  A very brief Search would have given you that info.
    You can access the Lagarith option (once installed) using the Microsoft AVI format, and selecting Lagarith under Video Codec in the Video tab.

  • Best Export Options for QT5 Viewing

    I run a site for Mac OS 7 users and want to upload some videos there in QuickTime 5 format (the latest version for Mac OS 7). I am working on a G4 running Tiger and QuickTime 7 Pro.
    What are some of your opinions on the best export options for QT5 viewing, distrubed over the internet, at say 320x240?

    Alas, the data rate of these two video codecs must be a lot higher (at least 25% more than the more modern codecs) to ensure a good visual experience.
    A neat html "trick" is to encode with these higher data rates but at a smaller dimension. Instead of 320X240 use 160X120. The smaller dimensions help keep the file size down. During html playback use the object and embed tag to scale="tofit" and enlarge the playback area.
    Your src (source) tag dimensions are larger than the original source file. Using scale="tofit" tags the file plays at the designated size instead of the original (160X120) size.
    The pages hosted for .Mac users (iWeb and Homepage) use the opposite tag (scale="aspect") that fit the source to the template of the page. One of mine as an example:

  • Best quality settings for AME?

    I am new to CS4 and the workflow changes.....but I do have a question regarding AME. In your best experience, what are the best settings for exporting AVI files to use again Premiere? I used to set my export aettings to no recompression, AVI as the codec. However, it seems that is not an option in AME. I am looking for best PERCEPTIBLE quality, NTSC, standard DV for now.....HD later.I see AME has options for "maximum quality"(what does that mean SPECIFICALLY)and 24 bit depth, but are any of those PERCEPTIBLE?
    Thoughts? Thansk!

    Is it "better" to encode in PPRO then let Encore select the best bit rate for your DVD?
    The results should be similar; both use the same encoder.  The advantage of letting Encore do it is that you don't have to worry about bitrate before hand.
    But if bitrates don't scare you, the real way to get top quality is to export out a Lagarith intermediary file, then use the free HC Encoder to make the MPEGs for Encore.
    can the average viewer see the loss?
    In my experience, no.  Especially without something different to compare it to.  But my view is that as a video producer, it's my job to get the best possible results.  The average viewer may not be able to tell that yours isn't as good as it could be, but they might well be able to tell that mine just looks better.

  • Trying to output best quality video for later work on a PC?

    I have a video file that was sent to me to work on, add effects to, then send back to a customer for him to incorporate into a larger video project.
    I have finished my work, but am wondering what settings I should use in Compressor to maintain the best quality file that will be easily readable by PC editing software (such as Premiere)
    Please, any suggestions?

    The best solution is to ask to talk to the guy with the PC and ask him what he needs. Hopefully he has some clue as to what he is doing and will give you direct answer. If he doesn't know what he is doing the first question you need to ask is he working in HD or SD? Start there.
    Basically you really need to talk to the other editor. If you don't then you are just wasting everyone's time.

  • Best quality setting for Airtunes

    H Folks..just started using my airport express to play the stereo. Are any setting preferable for best quality? ie does the multicast rate affect quality?
    Is the Monster cable going from the Airport Express to the stereo via RCA jacks the best way to connect the devices?
    th you!
    Chip

    ie does the multicast rate affect quality?
    Not really. The multicast rate defines the bottom limit of the wireless data rate allowable before the wireless connection is discontinued. If you set this higher, you will cause disconnects if the signal is low. One way to think of this is that a higher multicast rate will decrease the usable range since you have to be closer to the base station to get a high data rate.

  • Best quality compression for DVD

    Trying to compress a 7 minute project from Final Cut for best quality on a DVD, type 5. Been using the pre-set "Best quality: 90mins", but wondering if there is a higher quality compression I can get for such a short project? Have most up to date versions of Final Cut, Compressor and DVD Studio Pro. Thanks!

    You can duplicate any preset you want, then adjust it to suit your needs.

  • Best Quality Settings for a 24pa 16:9 Video

    Need DVDSP setting for best quality 10 minute DVD shot with canon xl2 24pa in true 16:9. Exporting from FCP to compressor. Cand seem to get DVDSP to recognize 24p. Any help will be appreciated.

    Thanks for your response. After exporting 24 pa sequence from FCP, using compressor 90 minute 16:9 2 pass (dont see a 60 minute in Version 2) - asset displays as 29.97 - not 24. Also - there is no setting for just 16:9 - its either letterbox or pan-scan.
    How do I know if DVDSP is importing the asset as 24p. Also - letterboxing still appears which indicates to me that DVDSP is not recognizing the true 16:9 shot with the xl2.
    This is a great 10 minute production shot in 24pa- want to get the best quality possible to be compatible with most popular DVD players. Looks ok - but not what I expected.
    Thanks for your help.

  • Best color settings for document view?

    Which is best color settings for different document formats with the same color profile?
    There are Tiff and Pdf documents with same color profile but look different.
    Thanks!

    Bridge is file browser with custom preview options, but it's not a pre-press examination application. Just don't use it for that purpose.
    P.S. First one is the best as far as I see. I don't like ruined «A» in second example. If you want to get more ballance, you can shift the left side also a bit.

  • Best quality settings for transfer from comp to itunes library

    What settings should I use to have the best quality sound when transfering from my computer to itunes?

    Do you mean from CD to iTunes? Because if the songs are already on your computer, they probably don't need to be converted again. If you do mean from CD to iTunes, the answer is "whatever sounds best to you." I'm not trying to be flip. It's just that there's a wide range of preference. It's going to be affected by where you listen and the background noise, your headphones, your speakers, how good your hearing is and so on. I generally recommend that you rip the same track in a number of different bit rates in both AAC and mp3 and see what sounds best to you and (if space is an issue) what provideds the best compromise between good sound and small file size. Personally, I use 192 aac VBR. Sounds good on my iPods and on my JBL Creature speakers. I don't have a stereo.

  • What is the absolute best quality xport for a dvd?

    I want to export the best quality Movie. Standard definition, 60 minute long movie. Should I go through Compressor, or would a simple FCS-2 Quicktime Xport due, if so then what settings should I put it at. When I bring it into DVD Studio Pro, How do I make it Burn the Best. I'm Just Curious, I usually do a standard quicktime export and I want to make sure I'm not if I can do anything to improve. Thanks!

    Welcome to the forum, Cinema. There's a ton of people on here with lots of good advice and experience, so read frequently and if you have any questions do a quick search before posting. You'll probably find the answers.
    As far as best export out of FCP, the best is going to be File>Export>Quicktime Movie. This will export your project with the settings your timeline is set to. Any other option is going to compress the project somehow and you'll lose quality.
    Compressor and DSP I'm still learning myself, so do some reading on the forum and in the manual (always a good place to look) and see what you can find.
    Hope this sets you on the right track.

  • Best Quality uprez  for DV SD to 720p HD ?

    I have a valued client who wants me to edit a pile of NTSC dv footage into 720 p HD, and he wants maximum quality.  I would like to  do that in CS4, but my software of  choice, Topaz Enhance, doesn't work in PPro or AE CS4, and I don't want to go back to CS3 where it will run to do that work and then have to import it all into CS4 to do the editing. I usually pass on SD to HD work, but this client is important to me.  So, I  agrred to do it, not realizing that Topaz had not upgraded Enhance to work with CS4 yet.
    Is there any software that will do the job in CS4 at the same level of quality as Topaz? Any suggestion welcome. TIA

    Thanks Jim,
    I'll look into that.  My problem is more than just a simple upconversion.  I suspect that to get the best quality possible, I will have to deinterlace first, and clean up the edges,etc.  The great thing about both Topaz Enhance and Instant HD Advanced is that they combine all the necessary fuctions into a single pass application that use very sophisticated nearby frame algos.  The results with Tpaz are excellent--and there are good reports on Instant HD Advanced, although I have never used it.  I wonder if Dan's script will do more than simply upres.  The deinterlacing in AE is only so so.

  • What are the settings to for best quality video for playback on computer?

    I'm not having any software or hardware issues.   I have tried differnent combinations using AVI, MPEG and WMV and I'm still not satisfied with the quality.
    I have used the same settings as my original video and it still is no where near the quality.  Maybe this is as good as it gets, any help would be appreciated.
    quick rundown
    I'm using the recorder on my computer to record my screen and voice to create video tutorials for my students to watch on-line.  This creates a 720x480 AVI file and has good quality.

    What is the best preset to use for HD-lite?
    The best is one that matches the Source Footage 100%. Unfortunately, with that variation on HD, I do not think that PrE, even PrE 10, will be able to come close. PrPro, however, does have the ability to do Custom Sequences (think a bunch of mini-Projects inside of a Project), and one can match odd Frame Sizes, FPS, etc.. I was hoping that PrE 10 would have Custom Presets, but it did not show up. This limits PrE to standard Frame Sizes, which is not what most video screen capture programs offer. Your footage does not match to any real HD-Lite Frame Sizes, so you will still have the same problem.
    It does appear that your program, while different than the TechSmith Camtasia, does use the TSCC CODEC. This will give you a bit more info. Also, though you do not have Camtasia, or CamStudio, I think that the article, that I linked to above, might be of use.
    Now, what options does your video capture program offer for output?
    Good luck,
    Hunt
