[Mac Question] Animation Codec to Avi/mp4

Post by LeapofFate » Tue Feb 17, 2009 4:41 am

I am having trouble with a good video converter that give the same output as my loseless animation codec.

Since I use After Effects + Huffy, I export with Animation because After Effects doesn't seem to like exporting huffy as well.

Anyways, I did a few tests with different video converters and got different results.

Animation Codec:

DivX Video Converter:
I used the High Def Setting + Maximize everything. It is pretty close to the original source, but I still prefer using a mp4 container.

FFMPEGX : I tried maxing it out, but it still doesn't look good. ffmpegX is really sketchy with me and animation.

I tried Handbrake, but it seems to crash when I try to export from Animation to MP4
Avidemux just doesn't like Animation Code at all.

So I was wondering if I can retain the same quality without using DivX converter.

You can even mess around with Adobe's Media Encoder, or Quicktime's own encoder.

And hopefully tab's xdot will actually be released soon.

I'm pretty sure you can still export as Uncompressed RGB.
