Problems with compression (Quicktime, Powerpoint, Mpeg Steamclip)

[DavidChia]

Hi all,

I recently had to insert some clients power point presentation into a clip that I cut in FCP.

The result varies . When I view it at 100% on the canvas in FCP the fonts (texts) on the Power-point looks sharp and great.

But when I out put it with quicktime and view it in Quicktime . it sucks, and it looks really bad. The quicktime clip is viewed in the actually size .

However when I open the same clip in the Free software call " Mpeg Steamclip" It looks stunning sharp again.

Can someone please enlighten me why is this so? How can I out the clip so that it plays sharply in Quicktime like as it was in Mpeg steamclip ?

Thank you inadvance

And When I use DVD studio to out put it into a DVD. It texts are very bad. Why is this so? How can i make it look good when I output it into a DVD.

Do I have to change all the Powerpoint presentation to a Vector clip instead ?

No worries, I found the answer.

I have to set the setting in Quicktime > preference > check the use high quality when available .

But still when I compress it in compressor and burn it out as a SD DVD. It still doesn't look that sharp .
