What are the best settings to use for quicktime movies in Jitter? I heard Jpeg - Photo and/or AIC... but more importantly, what about dimensions?

Things have moved over to widescreen in the last few years yet all jit tutorials and topics use the small 320 x 240 standard.

What do people suggest? I want to want to use a projector in live performance in widescreen.

Full quality 16:9 renders go from 1280 x 720 upwards... in the context of a DVD this makes sense but for live mixing I'm unsure.

The thing that worries me most is what lower resolutions will look like when blown up on the big screen.

The lower options are (640 x 360) or (960 x 540)...

Does anyone have any experience with this or any ideas about it?

Obviously the bigger you go the higher the pressure on Jitter and the CPU, i guess a compromise has to be made somewhere...

hi matt, it depends on your task and hardware.

when in jit.matrix land i usually work with 640x480, or half pal, which some

when in opengl land you can get a lot done with more then that, depends on

your system. last week i got a beast of a laptop to work on. an hp with a

8800geforce (its not a laptop more of a desktop replacement) and it took

anything i thorwn at him. 6 planes of 720x512 easy.

when in jit.matrix land i usually work with 640x480, or half pal, which some
say scales well on rca output.

when in opengl land you can get a lot done with more then that, depends on
your system. last week i got a beast of a laptop to work on. an hp with a
8800geforce (its not a laptop more of a desktop replacement) and it took
anything i thorwn at him. 6 planes of 720x512 easy.
