Please, can anyone direct me what codec to use? I need to render from Vegas8 to a Powerpoint presentation compatible format (on a PC) - at about PAL/NTSC resolution. I need the best quality. No audio involved. There are too many alternatives...
A high bitrate WMV would be my choice.
edit: make sure the laptop can handle it though as my experience is that a lot of business laptops are still underpowered.
Yes, I second the wmv option, I use it for PPT all the time. I use "best" render quality, "quality VBR" under the video tap at 30fps. Turn off "include audio" in the audio tab. I get very clean wmvs than open to full-screen beautifully.
