The sample I posted is pretty clear and shows almost no pixelation in the movement which is something I see on almost all videos in this size which load/play this fast. The clarity of the image is pretty good. The very best ones I have ever seen are actually on a site whose content is so 'extreme' that couldn't watch it all the way thru but man it was a tremendous image.

The ones I had done were both in wmv and qt. Bit rates in three sizes 1800, 1000 and 512. Based on the connection speeds of our member base, these seem to be the most effective for videos in 10-13 min lengths.

My own compression is better than what I received. Problem is I want the entire library recompressed and I do not have time. Additionally, I had a bunch of recomendations for Sorenson and it has a bug which will not allow the watermarking feature to work on the Mac version. They have no plans to repair this bug. I don't want to use Final Cut to watermark the final precompressed file because that seems to pixelate in the medium and smaller bit rate files.

The highest possible quality is our goal. These videos are pretty costly to produce and no sense in cutting back on this end.
