2) Is there a MOV2MPG converter (for any platform)? I dislike MOV not only for being proprietary, the player also doesn't make use of the special video capabilities of my graphics adapter, which is quite important on my old system!

As for the content, it's Episode 1, how can you go wrong? The digital characters are stunning to say the least. Makes the dinos in JP look like claymation models. Check out the way the clothing moves! And those ears on Jar Jar!
Has anyone heard any rumours on the running time of the film? 2 hours? 3 hours? I need to find out just how many times I can see it the first day...

BTW, if anyone's wondering, the trailers are all the same size, about 11MB.

I plan on grabbing it with xfileget, and watching it after i see it in theaters, just so it doesnt ruin it.
I HAVE AN MPEG VERSION (Score:1)
It's in Motion JPEG A, I'm not sure if that's compatible with Xanim. If it's not, email me. [mailto]
I don't wanna get charged for going over my data transfer limit, (it's Netcom) so I'm only making it available for 1 hour.

Why seems nobody to be able to create a plain and simple MPEG system stream? Create only I-frames if you want MJPEG... Why has it to be Quicktime and funny Codecs?
This is all about standardization -- the standards are out there.
Linux supports them all.
And no one uses them.
This is ridiculous.
Image quality (Score:1)
1. Source data: NTSC video, which has its own limitations...
2. Frame rate cut down to 15 fps (from 29.97, which is actually 59.94 interlaced, which was modified up from 24).
3. Guessing, I'd say they used the Sorenson Basic Encoder with QuickTime. Trailer B was built with the Sorenson Developer Edition Encoder, which costs around $400 if I'm not mistaken. Also gives you lots of fine-tunable parameters when creating the video stream, for the very high quality for Trailer B. Which is probably where the Apple Engineers came into play in assisting the creation of the QuickTime movie for Trailer B.

I can easily attribute the lower quality image to the source being of lower quality (probably pulled off of broadcast TV and recorded to a VCR or something). But with trailer 2, which is larger, I don't get any skipped frames or flicker. Yet in trailer 3 there are several times when I get skipped frames.
Very odd. I'm not even going to attempt to explain it, since I am not very familiar with this stuff.

For trailer two someone posted a decent quality mpeg of the trailer that I have mirrored. I plan on mirroring the quictime and would hope to mirror the mpeg if anyone makes one.
