5 codec questions:
1. In what player will the judges be viewing the movie file?
(when played in windows media player, small blotches appear
over the screen)
2. Is there any way to fix these blotches?
3. If the quicktime file (.mov) is able to play in windows
media player, but has a small message saying "unknown
player source" will it be considered a nonstandard codec,
even though it was compressed in DV-NTSC?
4. I notice in programs like 3dmax and other editing programs, their are certain titles such as 'pixel aspect ratio' and 'video compressor' (with configure labeled next to it). Under pixel aspect ratio 'dv-ntsc' is also listed, is that required for the dv-ntsc codec or should it remain on square pixels? also if you choose certain compressors I notice it does not let you configure that setting as the compressor(will it render as that codec wihtout hitting configure next to it if it saves its location as the slot marked?) or do you need to meet certain requirements for the configure setting to highlight?
5. Is there any audio compressor requirement?
