Hi all,

I am using quicktime movies in director and trying to get them to play
smoothly, at the moment the quicktime movies are set as:

1024x576 (have to use it at this size)
25 fps
Sorenson 3 compression

Can anyone recommend which Data Rate or any other settings I should use to try
and get this to play smooth

Thankyou

Depends on your target computers. If you are targeting new high end
PCs, then the numbers will be very different from older ones. And where
will the quicktime movies be? I ask because you will never get video at
that size to stream off a CD smoothly... if it is on the hard drive,
then you stand a chance. For faster machines.

Either way, I don't have the numbers for you. It is usually a whole lot
of testing and retesting on equipment that is somewhat like your minimum
requirement...

And the program you use to do the compression will make a difference.
Sorensen 3 is a good codec, but different programs implement it
different, and the output of most programs... Premier, After Effects,
etc does not often look as good as that which is made using Sorensen
Squeeze or some other professional compression programs.

Use bitrate of 1.2 Mbit/s
But that resolution it's not recommended for internet streaming.
