Attached Link: Best Codec for Rendering with Poser 5 MakeMovie

Using Poser5 with a 1.6Ghz processor & 512MgRam to create movies via Poser5. I would like to know the best Codec(s) to use with the make movie feature in Poser. I understand that it take some time to create movies via Poser & the Render time take time as well, but I would like to know the best Codec or Codecs to use that will save time and still output good quality rendered movies. Your help would be grand. Marccos

Please tell me they fixed poser 4's nasty movie engine in poser 5, Id hate to buy something with a nasty movie maker, I also hope they fixed that lousey animation pallet with a better easy to use one and added animatable cameras in lights.

Try the Sorenson 3 codec if it has that.

I recommend outputing and editing as uncompressed image frames (tif format). This willsave you tons of time, but require more disk space. Then do final compression of your edited movie in your editor. If you don't have an editor, look at virtua dub. Also if you have pro-pack take a look at the demo version of batchgen in freestuff. Good luck. -Mark

I usually output animations directly from Poser with the Huffyuv codec, do whatever editing and postwork is necessary, and then recompress to DivX .avi or MPEG.

I tested Poser with a number of codecs (including Huffy) in this thread in the Director's Cut forum, a couple of months ago:

Another vote here for outputting to bitmaps (though I use .BMP not .TIF) and then combining those into an animation using VirtualDub.
