(I've been setting my audio at 44.1 in most cases because it doesn't create a hollow sound at the con). Are those the video settings you use JudgeHolden?

Thanks!
Those sound fine, but 48/16 is the DVD standard. As for changing it to 640:480, i'm not sure (have never had that issue). Is your footage 4:3? Honestly, I just send them what converts out of Mpegstream and have never been DQed for it, so you ought to be fine.

You can shave off quite a bit of space compared to HuffYUV by using FFV1 with the arithmetic coder and a large keyframe interval: it's supported by Perian and should operate just as well as HuffYUV with the AMVApp stuff.

Scratch that, I assumed AMVApp included ffdshow. But it's a simple matter of getting it here or here and running the installer in WINE.
