What codec should i use
I'm afraid i don't know too much about codec's and which ones are for high quality and and which are for streaming. I have a project shot in 720p and i did an export movie without looking (stupidly) and it exported in 480p and looks aweful. so now i have been looking around and i don't know the best way to export should i use the adobe media encoder or the export to movie? Also what is a really good high quality codec that would work well with 720p.

Generally speaking, h.264 is the "Swiss army knife" of delivery codecs. It's used for Blu-Ray disks and is probably the most common codec for non-Flash Web video. It offers the following advantages:
-Superior image quality -Excellent quality:file size ratio -Very portable across different delivery platforms I'm sure there are others but those are the ones that leap immediately to mind. |

Peter, as you yourself say, there are different codecs for different purposes. What's your purpose in this case?
