Re: Is it my laptop -- UPDATE

H.264 is the Quicktime movie compression.... right? What would be the best setting to use if you wanted to play a video back on a Core 2 Duo MacBook Pro for presenting on a 720p projector?

---- UPDATE ----

Ok, not sure what is going on. I switched my MacBook from mirroring to dual display. Only the resolutions with (interlaced) next to them would output a signal. The highest resolution available was 1440 x 900i which with the video off, the desktop windows/menus didn't look great -- readable but not crisp.

SO, I took the HDV video I imported to iMovie and exported it BACK to the camera. That takes the MacBook out of the equation. I played the "edited video" back through the camera to the projector and it looked MUCH better than the MacBook output... can't say if how different it looked from the original source. So I guess that would be HDV > AIC > back to HDV?

That said, perhaps HDV to AIC isn't loosing that much?

I'm wondering how an AppleTV (540/30fps @ 5Mbps max ) or Mac Mini (probably limited to 720/30fps) would look.
