Quicktime Compiling Problem

[MentisVenator]

I've tried to compile videos in Quicktime format at 800 x 600, 65% quality, using MPEG4 compression and each time it compiles at a much lower resolution than it should be, I don't know what i'm missing as I used the Indeo compression for AVI and THAT compiles to my liking at 800 x 600, 65% quality, DivX is only free for 15 days, Xvid and Windows Encoder makes no difference (that can be noticed), Quicktime, DirectX and Windows Media Player is up to date. I don't know what's wrong, I'll try compiling it using a compressor other than MPEG-4, but I'm not too hopeful of improvement, any ideas why it can compile AVI, but not Quicktime, I tried batch converting AVI to Quicktime, it still doesn't work.

Hi

Can you give the details of the original clips, Avi is just a container, there are 800ish different types of Avi
Right click the clips in the timeline and select properties, what are they?

If they have been downloaded from the internet they may be non-standard and will prove problematic to edit.

There is a free version of Div X available, visit the DivX site again.
