I see a lot of peoples posted clips looking really good on the internet. Would you be willing to recommend your favorite settings for getting a good-looking and fast-starting Quicktime movie for the web out of Final Cut Pro 4.5?

I'm shooting 4:3, 24P (and 60i on some stuff).

I've got some clips on my own site that seems to work okay but I never really know what the @!@$ the optimal compression scheme is?

Thanks, BB
 
Squeeze is like Rocky 2 and Compresor is like Rocky 5, hope that puts it into perspective for you. I do some post pro for a company that puts videos up on the web and Squeeze has more output options than anything ive seen. GET IT.

They're slightly different animals. I would only use Compressor to make m2v files where Squeeze is much better for making smaller files for the web.
 
I agree with bgundu. Use Compressor for what it was intended for (as it was packaged with FCP and DVD SP) for creating m2v files. There are pre-sets for MP4 files but that's just a given as Compressor most-likey uses Quicktime's engine to perform that but probably opens new settings to tweak. I don't know, I don't use Compressor to make MP4 files. THAT's where Squeeze comes in. Squeeze is quick and seems to put out smaller files.
 
Sorry, I just realized that sounded kind of insulting, which wasn't my intention. I'm just speaking from what I've seen/done.
