Re: [FCP-L] OT best codec for mini-Qts via Compressor

Thanks Kerry, the wildcard is that I don't know the e-mail attachment
limit of the different ISP. So I'll say 6megs as a conservative
ceiling. What I'm sending is on average 40 sec on this jop.

Audio quality can be low, mono yes, video more important here. Do you
think the Compressor iPhone the preset is the lowest bandwidth
default? (I can make custom setting by copying & tweeking such a
default) Given all the wild variables are you tending towards a
certain (video) codec for your web & e-mail needs?

Thanks,

Paul
