Encoding a quicktime file for use in blip.tv at DVinfo.net

Hi

I've been using blip.tv to post video files. Blip.tv allows the viewer to choose the format wmf, mov, of flash. I need to encode a 1 minute video and a 12 minute video from p-pro-2 to quicktime. I'd like to keep the file size under 80 Meg for each segment. There are a lot of codec choices in P-Pro-2 under quicktime.

Can anyone advise me on which format of quicktime I should encode to?

Thanks...

I suggest that you export your DV AVI and let Quicktime Pro export to MP4, which seems to be the Quicktime format used by Blip.tv as far as I can tell.
