Compress a video for Web: starting from Interlaced or Progressive?
by Alessio Gemma on May 23, 2008 at 9:46:42 am

Hello to everybody,
I often create little video for Web, using the well known codecs as H.264, WMV9 and On2 VP6 for Flash.
I use FCP for editing the source material and then I export a self-contained in DV PAL (interlaced).
My question is: if my target is a progressive video for web (320x240, 480x360 or 640x480), it'd be better to compress from an interlaced source or a progressive one?
My best results are with QT H.264.. the other codecs generate a bigger file at a lower quality even if I use the same datarate and keyframe rate (I use Flip4Mac for WMV and Flash Encoder for FLV). Any suggestion?
Regards,
Alessio
