So I'm new to using the DVX codec and have a couple questions: when trying to render 1024x768 .mov clips in After Effects (CS4 PC) using the 2.1.1 DVX codec, it won't allow me to turn off the RGB+ option. Am I missing something here? I'm not using an alpha channel for any of my clips so I don't need them to have that extra file size. And doesn't the extra channel burden the GPU just that much more?
Also I'm going to be playing these clips on a mac, would it be best to encode/render them on the mac or does it not matter? I wonder if the codec for Mac is made special to utilize a mac's abilities. Currently I only have after effects on the PC so I'm limited to encoding them on that platform...
any feedback welcome!
