Re: Cruiser Bob of Maui, huh?

There is an old Hollywood producers saying: "You can have anything you want . . . FAST, GOOD and CHEAP . . . pick TWO!" I'm not sure how that relates to the compression parameters but my clip is a great compression challenge.

First, the bike is coming off the top of a 10,000 foot volcano at speeds in excess of 35 mph. Second there are marquee titles running at the bottom of the frame CNN style. The motion of the titles can't be herky jerky so GOOD is definitely important for them and the motion artifacts of a moving bicycle.

320x240 is just a good size. Any smaller and you would lose the dynamism of the bike ride. That's FAST. So I guess I have to give up CHEAP . . . but I don't know what that means. Isn't there a technique where they punch a loading button and then have some task to do while it loads? Other forms of entertainment while it loads in b.g.

That's not just compression genius . . . it's "Hollywood"
