Hello
I’m trying to get some help in using MPEG Streamclip to edit and ‘downsize’ some file saved to my HD from my DIVCO HDTV card. These are files that average 750MB/30 min and are not the full bandwidth HDTV transmissions, but from the smaller bandwidth stations on PBS.

On placing the files in Streamclip (SC) it tell me this about them:

Stream: name of program
Type: MPEG program stream
Duration, data size
Bit rate 3.21Mbps
Video tracks: 224MPEG 704x480 29.97fps 3.98Mbps upperfield first
Audiotracks:
128 AC3 2/0 48hz 382 kbps
Stream files:
name of file

im trying to export the movie to a smaller format in QT say 3ivx quality 5 to get a 320x240 movie of about 150 – 200MB

as I have a lot of them to do, maybe Id like to choose a fast method as I do not have a G5.

Ive read the instruction to SC. Impressive stuff. But I don’t know if my files are interlaced or not. Or if they are progressive. How might I find out?

Scaling , as indicated by the instructions is slow. Im only looking for a reasonable file size that has reasonable video as these are ‘how to’ shows from PBS. Im not looking for ‘Cinerama’ and understand these conversions are processor intensive and my G4dual is a limiting factor time wise.

Hope Ive been reasonably clear.

Thanks rotut
