If you can, render full-sized uncompressed files from Max.

--Compression seems to work better when it has more original pixels to calculate with.

Then test the compression at different settings (even codecs) to find the best mix of quality vs. file size.

--Picture quality can vary greatly depending on the what is actually shown. Test, test, test!

else nothing
end if

Before they made me they broke the mold!
