>>>I use Indeo 3.2 at 270k per second. The quality is nice, and it works well from 2X CD. I don't compress with Premiere tho'… too limited on data rate, and very unprecise. I compress with VidEdit at 270k, 100% Quality, Custom setting. RAZOR also gives good control over output settings.<<< Ian, yes, Premiere sometimes shows strange behaviour. We'll get 4.0 these days and I hope it's better. Anyway I did lots of experiments these days. With my ts animations I had great results with Cinepak. Very low data rates and best of all results in colours. With Indeo 3.2 I got extreme low data rates but poorer colours. Same thing on an animation with Vista Pro (lots of pixels changing from frame to frame) showed Cinepak as the winner. I got a 320 x 240, 25 fps, 100% animation with 450 kB/s which means it runs on my machine without skipping frames. The last test for today has been on WIN95 with Cinepak [32]. Funny thing is, that the result was jerky in WIN95 but in WfW with all 32 bit acesses enabled it turned out as a 593 kB/s running without skipping. I'm interested which data rates you (and the others, of course) can run without skipping frames and what configuration is needed therefore. I myself use a P90 with 32 MB, Matrox Imp+, 2 GB SCSI and 4096 smartdrv. In the future I'll always try with Indeo 3.2 and Cinepak. Seems Video 1 is beyond discussion. Ian, thank you again, yours was the clue of the week. Jurgen
