1. Does anyone have some recommendations for writing 1920 x 1080 30fps quicktime files from jit.qt.record that would strike a reasonable balance between image quality and decent playback in jit.qt.movie?

2. Is there any way to control the datarate of codecs like Apple Intermediate or Apple Pro Res? When I write files from jit.qt.record with these codecs, I get MUCH higher resulting Data Rates (as reported in QT Player 7's Movie Inspector) than I do when I export movies with exactly the same codecs in other programs - often so high that the movies won't play back without stuttering badly. I've tried to use the 'datarate' attribute, but...

3. Exactly what units does the datarate attribute of jit.qt.record use, and how can I find out which codecs it works with? I'm getting very inconsistant results - for instance using the Apple Intermediate codec, setting datarate to a low number like 1 often results in a higher effective Data Rate than setting datarate to 100 or higher (as reported by the Movie Inspector in QT Player 7).

4. When I try to write a movie from jit.qt.record using certain codecs on my Macbook (such as XDCAM codecs) I get a 'Bad Codec' error in the max window. However, these codecs work perfectly well when I export a movie from Quicktime Player, or FCP or After Effects. Why don't they work in Jitter?

I'd love to know more about this too - would like to be able to export to AIC directly. Have not experimented much yet, but for now I'm writing jpeg high and then converting it to AIC for use in Final Cut Express with quicktime pro.
