QT 7 questions

Hi...

I'm trying to get a working h.264 encode out of QT 7 Pro just now... just to see what it's like. I have three questions:

1) Why do AVIs look sooo blocky in the QT player? Is there a playback setting I've overlooked?

2) I'm trying to go from an AVI to a high bitrate file -- 1,000-2,000kbps, original NTSC frame dimensions -- are encodes supposed to take this long? I'm doing a single pass encode to see if the resilts are promising, and I know my machine's a little long in the tooth (dual 1.66ghz athlons/1gb ram), but this is really crawling...

3) What are the rest of you using for h264 QT7 encodes? I've been out of the loop for a bit -- my head in between jobs and starting a small lens adapter company...

Hope you're all well :)

- jim

To answer your first question on the quality – hit Ctrl + J – then select from the top left drop down menu and pick video – then from the top right drop down menu and select quality. Then check “high quality”
You should do that for audio as well.
