Re: compressor quality not good enough

Hi Daniel,

I tried reducing the frame size to 320/240 for a standard def file that I have and turning the frame controls on. I restricted the video to 500kbs/sec with the encoder set to hi. My results are files still in the 1mb range. I would like to get down to the 50kb range. I have friends who are directing spots for well known commercial companies and they have these beautifully compressed clips with a frame size of 480x360 and a file size of 25-50 kbs. Below is the setting summary from compressor.

Is there anything else I could try.

Thanks for your help.

Rafael
