Quicktime settings

[DonCleary]

I finally just gave up and pulled my quicktime versions of samples off my website because they just take too long to download.

Any suggestions on what settings to use? I'm using Final Cut Pro HD and saving in quicktime.

Thanks

What QT codec are you currently using?

H.264 or Sorenson Video have given me great results. I've also had very nice results using the Flip4Mac WMV codec for the web, also.

H.264. I got a full-rez :23 720p clip down to 4.1MB, and it looks awesome...

Nice, Mike! But for the web, try cutting down the screen size to half of it's native. It'll still look just as good, just smaller, and faster to download, for the web, that is.
