Is the best codec/compression for M8 still PhotoJPEG at 75%.???

Just checking as I'm about to batch convert my entire archive and would rather not do it twice if the recommended codec has changed in recent versions.

Yep. That is what we always recommend.

Thanks mate, just making sure that no change in the codebase or architecture might have made a newer codec better.

Wish me luck 15,000+ loops to convert :P

BTW what do ppl recommend as a good batch convertor?

There are few equally good ones. I use mostly Livid Batch Exporter

This QTAmateur has B-converter too and I have had good results wit it.

And MPEGStreamclip is the best video converter with batch converting as well.

I have heard people say that MPEGStream clip makes their clips look even better than before they were transcoded with it. Perhaps they should lay off the wacky tabacci. ;)
