I am using Photo JPEG at 25 frames ps. it could be a 720x480 or 360x240 most of the time. That is for VJ footage, period.

Great move Calpor ! This thread should be made a sticky as this is one of the most frequent question from new users.

am I allowed to still ask dumb questions? I've read all the codec threads, and I gather that sorenson 3 is the best for posting stuff to the web? I have QT pro and when I use the export feature to streaming medium or even broadband high the quality still sucks. I notice that movie previews that major studios are putting out stream fine and the quality looks way better than mine. What am I missing?
