As mentioned the reason I went with mpeg2 was because of the general ease of uploading them to hosting sites without incident. On numerous occasions, videos I have encoded in windows media and divx formats ran into errors or quality loss I found unacceptable. Maybe its a fault of my encoding, idk. I didnt notice a large difference in file size using the mpeg2 format either. (granted there was a difference)
There are a few other reasons I opt for that particular format, the foremost of which is the ease of which it can be edited and manipulated later. (say if I wanted to burn a dvd)
I don't profess to be an expert though... clearly you seem to have more technical knowledge so Im open to any more suggestions you might have. But then I expect anyone who WORKS FOR BLIZZARD AND PLAYS SCII AND DIABLO 3 ON A REGULAR BASIS would have more technical expertise than I. :lol: (I just love the way you seem to get squeamish when anyone suggests you're a GM or a dev, I dont mean to insult... just promise some day you'll tell me what you REALLY do. lol)
Im particularly interested in trying out those two programs you mentioned. Its long been a desire to scale my 1680x1050 source files to something more reasonable with as minimal quality loss as possible. Would I get better results if I went to 1280x800 as it is also a 16:10 aspect? (That would pose a problem though, as most hosting sites have a maximum resolution on 1280x720) Maybe 1440x900?
