Re: Final Cut Compression help needed for Live music performance.

Hi
Photo-JPEG @ 60% or so is a good choice - the MJPEG codecs were for hardware video cards.

720x480 is really a non-square pixel size for DV editing - for computer screen work square pixels would normally be used. But using 720x480 with square pixels would give a slight widescreen aspect ratio which you might prefer.

One option is to make your QuickTime movie at 360x240 pixels, then use QT's scale to double size option, which would play out 720x480, but with a far smaller movie file size.
Save your movie after it has been enlarged and it will always play at the larger size.
