Anyone, and everyone - please lend me your advice.
I've been trying to encode my Zombie movie for the DVXUser competition for upload all night - literally, it's 8am now and no sleep and I'm beyond reason. I'm working FCP 5, with compressor and I can't get my file anywhere near the competitions required 34meg.
My original file was shot anamophic - and I thought I could just mpg4 it and set my own aspect ratio - which I can, but damn it - it just wont squeeze down. I'm also getting audio drop out, and on fast moving pieces a lot of compression noise. Plus I get these odd blue flashes of little squares which look like rainbow coloured compression artifacts - what's going on?!??
I'm desperate - if I don't get this entered all our weeks of work will be wasted....
Help!
 
If you have Limewire or Kazaa, try to download CLEANER. It's an encoding program.

If you can download it, you can import a self contained quicktime file of your entire movie, then have cleaner encode it as compact as possible, including the ability to crop it to the correct aspect ratio.

Hope you get it figured out in time!
