Quicktime output for projection

[Brandon Rice]

Hey all,

I am trying to figure out the best way to output a quicktime file for digital projection.

Here's the lowdown... Shot this film 720Pn. Outputting a 720p H264 file in Quicktime... Using Best settings in quicktime pro, with multi-pass. The data rate is 14.97mbsec. It still has a lot of noise in the image. Way more noise than when I play a quicktime reference file or play it in my Avid.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Why not make a DVCPRO HD Quicktime?

Are you going to be playing it off of your computer that is connected to the digital projector? If you were you might be able to play it off your NLE directly if Avid does that.
