Hi- I've been encoding my Poser animations as MPEG-4 which ahs an amazing video compression rate with virtually no loss of quality. Until today I did not add in sound. Unfortunately, After effects and premier can not put out sound in MPG3, so the sound files are huge. Bink can use MP3's but the file size is about 5-10 times larger than MPEG-4, and it cannot be streamed. Is there a format that is not too large, but also has good quality video and sound. Is there a program that will allow you to encode the AVI audio as MPEG3? Is there any other compression advice anyone can offer? Aharon

have you looked at media cleaner Pro 4 its a great compression that outputs to almost any format except for divx( who needs divx anyway?? ) I used media cleaner Pro to compress this mpeg for web from a 22 megabyte quicktime mov down to a 3.8 mpeg with good sound http://sith.customedia.net/ mocap

Yes media Cleaner is the way to go I used it on my new Shahnra movie, from 556 megs to 28.7 with decent quality:-)

Do atleast one thing a day that scares the hell outta ya!!
