Which codec have you had the most success with for web viewing?

What are you using to create the video? Premiere?

I've been using the Photodex Producer software to assemble the
slideshow.
However, I can save the video as a MPG file (200MB) and then import
that into Premiere.


Y'know, I figured Premiere would give you more encoding options, but now
that I've opened it and seen what's available, you really can't do much
more
with it in terms of encoding to a smaller file. About the only movie
file
export option available is .avi (uncompressed), which would only be
bigger,
so that sort of defeats the whole purpose.

I think you're missing something. Premiere will export in whatever
format you want... I'm not on a machine right now that has it
installed, but I've exported in MPG, AVI, MOV...

Remember, MPG and AVI are just file formats... i.e. the way the data is
layed out in the file... the real workhorse is the CODEC that is used.
Many CODECs will allow you to store both in AVI, WMV, and MPG formats.


That's what I figured. I have Premiere Pro 2.0 (the latest and greatest
version). I don't use it. I use Avid. The only reason I have Premiere is
because it's part of the Adobe Video Production Studio bundle, and I wanted
the new Photoshop, Illustrator, Encore, and eventually I intend to spend
some time learning After Effects (for now, I use Boris Red, which works more
seamlessly with Avid).

Anyway, I brought up a quick sequence in Premiere and went to the Export
dialogue box (or is it the Save As dialogue? I forget). Anyway, I didn't
see mpeg formats. I only saw .wmv and .avi. Didn't even see Quick Time
(.mov). That surprised me. I thought the last version (1.5) had a QT
export option.

But I may very well be missing something. I know just enough about Premiere
to be dangerous. I really don't know the interface all that well. But ask
me an Avid question and I can prob'ly answer it. Exporting from Avid is
much easier: just export a Quick Time reference file, then bring it into
any one of a variety of different encoding programs (Sorenson Squeeze and
Cleaner are the two I use most) and encode it to any darn thing I want.
