To get the best performance when playing video clips, we suggest using the Photo JPEG codec. The following settings are optimum: • Codec: Photo JPEG • Resolution: 320 x 240 • Quality: Medium or Best (Best is less grainy, but produceds larger files) Photo JPEG is works well for the following reasons: • On Macintosh computers, the Photo JPEG codec is optimized for the G4’s Altivec processor – it decompresses very fast, leaving more time for video processing. • It does not have “keyframes” – this means that each frame of video is compressed into a single packet. This means that video plays forwards and backwards is equally well, and that you can jump to any frame of the video quickly. This is not the case with codecs like Sorenson and Cinepak.
