Video encoding for presentations
(Powerpoint
and web)
Tools used: Magix VideoDeluxe17HD*, Riva FLV encoder
*named Movie Edit Pro in the US
(Sorry the program windows are partially German but the settings
are all that matters)
HD1280p
Universal SD (MPEG1)
Universal HD (MPEG2, master quality)
Flash-Video
Compact high-quality mpeg4 HD (x.264) with Magix
requires current hardware to play smoothly!
Maxed-out MPEG1, SD with Magix
Integrates into Powerpoint presentations and plays on almost any computer. Although not HD, the encoding quality here is very good and should suffice in most cases.
MPEG2 HD master quality (1280x720p) with Magix
for playing HD on older machines or as source for flv encoding
Flash-video for website integration;
this is an example, the movie size can be adapted to the website
layout. Use smaller sizes and a lower bitrate if you want to ensure
smooth playing also on older computers.
A good format for the input file is the MPEG2-master
explained above.
Riva FLV encoder in my opinion is by far the best free* tool for this purpose
