BTV does appear to be a good option, at least in terms of having more flexibility than QT Pro for the settings.<DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>Unfortunately, I was unable to get the file size vs. quality ratio to what it is in QT Pro - even with apparently identical settings on the video, and the most compression available on the audio. At first, the BTV files were coming out 12 times larger - then I realized they were using a much higher data rate, but when I capped it at what the QT Pro files were showing, the BTV video quality suffered greatly.</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV><DIV>While I've only got one choice of image size with QT Pro, it may be good enough -- the file size to quality ratio is pretty good.</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>Scott</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV><BR><DIV><DIV>On Feb 1, 2006, at 7:20 PM, Michael Elliott wrote:</DIV><BR class="Apple-interchange-newline"><BLOCKQUOTE type="cite">If you're talking about simply using the iSight and Powerbook as a camcorder, BTV's a great option.
