I'm working on multimedia project that includes some videos. Those are
compressed for ..avi file format with Adobe Premiere. But what's the most
popular video compression format that can be viewed in most system? I've
made those by Intel Indeo format but it does not work . And how about MPEG?
Actually I've tried Quick Time file but it is too big.
Please help!!!!

Hi

The most popular video codec is probably cinapec. However, it is no very
efficient these days. Choosing the right codec is really depends in the
content of the video. In general, I would prefer indeo 5, although you need
special installation for the codec. The good news is that you can use this
codec for free and it is optimized for MMX.
you can find more information about codecs at www.codeccentral.com

Hi.
I work on the Mac/PowerPC's, and I normally use the cinepak codec  for
digital videos. Making a CD-ROM playable with a 4 X speed CD-ROM
player(i guess, that's a kind of standard today), you need to limit
the framerate (option in Adobe Premiere) to 600 K/sec. If you want the
video to be playable with a 2 X speed, set the limit to 300 K/sec.

Good Luck.

Quicktime.... It's probably the best (to date) with the most
cross-platform support...
 
 
 

1. Q: Best Source Format for Video Capture and Compression

I am planning to include some video clips in a multimedia instructional
module for chemical engineering undergraduates and am trying to determine
the best source tape format for the clips.

I intend to capture and compress the video on a Mac Quadra 840 AV using
the Fusion recorder package with the CINEPAK codec.

Q1: Is there a significant advantage to using Hi-8 as opposed to
    Super-VHS?

Q2: What are the alternative high-end formats and roughly how much would
    I need to spend on equipment (recorders, capture cards etc)? Would
    I be able to use the S-Video or Composite Video input connectors on the
    Mac-Quadra with these formats?
    (Some of the formats I've seen mentioned on comp.multimedia are D1, D2,
     and Betacam but I havent been able to find much information about them.
     Pointers to newsgroups or web pages will be welcome).

If possible please reply by e-mail. Any help will be appreciated.
