I did search the archives but I didn't see this particular flavor of question.
BOXX 3D workstation
WinXP Pro
2G RAM
Software in my DVD creation workflow:
LightWave>Mirage>VT4>TMPGEnc>DVD Workshop
I'm creating 3D animation content that ends up in VT4 (Video Toaster) from which I usually render out an uncompressed DV Video Type 2 (PCM Audio) .avi file, among other formats.
Using that, I get great results with Windows Media Encoder 9, but poor results with Quicktime 7 Pro H.264. Over a certain file size QT crashes anyway. (buffer overrun, or something)
I want to submit material to Google Video, and it appears that it's best to stick close to their desired format if you want it posted quickly:
MPEG4 with MP3 audio
MPEG4 with MP4 audio
MPEG2 with MP3 audio
MPEG2 with MP4 audio
What would be a good codec to use to convert my files?
What is also confusing me, is the fact that a single file is expected to be uploaded, so the audio and video are contained in one file. Yet they imply two files in that list, so the codec would need to have those choices available, output to a single file.
Thanks, and hope y'all don't mind if I hang around.
