Patrick,

In short words: ese "download".
Streaming is intended to serve from a streaming server - not your case.

Thanks! And what about the fast-start issue? Do I want "Optimized for:
" to be "Download" or "Streaming"?

And what's the difference between MPEG-4 Basic and MPEG-4 Improved.
Intuitively, one would assume "Improved" would better, and so why
would anyone ever pick "Basic"?

Patrick,

Open your movie in QT Player Pro and select EXPORT to MPEG4. You may
choose BROADBAND-HI from popup menu which best fit your requirements.

Don't be afraid to mess around, but test compatiblility of results.

Good Luck!

While on the topic of exporting to MPEG-4 video, another problem I
have is that I have no idea what settings to use to make a good
quality movie that can perform well on an average machine at a
reasonable size like 480x360. For example, what settings would Apple
use on their movie trailers?

The pre-set options available in iMovie are inadequate (IMHO). For
example, the "web" setting resolution is 320x240, which I believe to
be too small for a website of 2005. There are so many settings and
CODECs to choose from, and really no explanation as to what they all
do and how each setting affects the final movie, that I constantly
feel overwhelmed, and end up just guessing what to use.

Surely there are some recommended settings to use for a high- quality,
fast-loading MPEG4 movie?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Patrick
