Introduction

I recently put together a 6 minute DV feature, and was looking for a way to encode it for distribution to a low bitrate format. I chose several codecs, each for either compatability or for performance.

General Workflow

Loseless

  1. export video as HuffYUV
  2. make Avisynth script
  3. load Avisynth into target encoder app.
  4. encode

Pure frameserv


Resolutions

  • 20:9 - 640 x 288
  • 16:9 - 640 x 360
  • 4:3 - 640 x 480

H.264 mp4

Quicktime

make an uncompressed AVI.
open AVI in quicktime player
export to MOV

Mpeg-4 (xvid)

Change FourCC to divx to up compatability, use a simpler profile
