I’m looking for an expert in encoding MP4 videos that are suitable/optimised for web streaming.
We are working with High Definition video footage and want to compress/encode it so that it plays at high quality without being too bandwidth-hungry. The compressed footage must look nice quality even when maximized to full-screen. Ideally we would like to compress the footage to around 10MB per minute (or less if possible.)
I will provide you with a 1-minute clip of HD video footage. Your job is to encode it into compressed but high quality mp4 that plays perfectly on Flowplayer (powered by Wowza streaming server.) When I’m satisfied with the quality, I need to know with full instructions the exact settings/parameters used, so that I can continue to encode videos myself.
I currently edit the HD footage within Final Cut (for Mac) and then encode it using MPeg Streamclip (available to download at http://www.squared5.com/). This is my preferred software; so if possible you must create the encoded video using MPeg Streamclip too.
Ideally I want a simple one-step encoding process (without having to import the footage to lots of different software etc.)
Here are examples of what I consider good quality footage:
-Film trailer: http://www.amateurlatex.com/test_video/trailer2.mp4
-Any film trailer at: http://www.apple.com/trailers/
And here is an example of my own compressed footage, which I do not consider good enough quality, and does not stream well at all (it’s certainly not good enough when it is maximized to full-screen):

Please get in touch with relevant examples of your compressed mp4 videos.
Unfortunately I will not be able to respond to anyone who is not able to show examples of their mp4 work.
Thank you.
