When you export a QuickTime using Movie to QuickTime Movie you are
transcoding the file. Every time you transcode, you'll lose
quality. Instead of exporting the movie, resize the movie in
QuickTime player and Save the movie. The simplest way to do this is
to select "Double Size" from the Movie menu.
What about enlarging the movie using the width and height attributes
in the HTML?
Does that have any drawbacks like putting more strain on the browser?

Hi Martin
Sorry for the delay in getting back to you (at least to say thank you).
True it is ... touch the movie and you loose quality. Apparently
their is no lossless solution.
So I went about it another way.
If you recall the original media was an mpg movie and there were 2 challenges:
[1] was to get Keynote to play the movie with sound and 'that' it
will not do (the Mac OSX presentation soft ignores the sound track
when it is exported as a QuickTime movie), which implied demuxing and
reassembling the tracks.
[2] the original size (original track sources unavailable) is 352x240
and the taker wants 800x600 along with the ability to distribute it
on a CD to PCWin users, whether they have QuickTime in the machines
or not.
As far as quality goes, seasoned users seem to agree that the
internal tricks (letting the machines figure it out) for resizing
yield results far better than anything I manage to achieve. So I went
with that (Double Size'd it as George Cook <email@hidden> wisely
suggested: I split the QT (exported from Keynote) movie in two parts,
tweaked the sprite tracks to get the "get url" action to work and set
up a local "site" with three pages, each page with containing one
movie automatically linked to the next page. The mpg movie is the
middle link and quality is great: Keynote transitions and builds make
the day, the mpg plays and sound fines
Not all is solved however:
[a] I can't get bypass of the the QT logo which shows on the screen
between movies (while the "next links" wait to load) lot of the
continuity is lost, I'm sure that a newbie's (me) ignorance;
[b] I'm a Mac user and getting the recorded hybrid CD to play on the
PCs simply does not happen 100%. I understood that if I downloaded
the QT stand-along and toasted it together with the movies would
solve it. But apparently there is more to it than meet the eye.
Regards and cheers
Antonio
