Nicer MPEG1 files possible??

[Denise]

Is there a way to get crisp MPEG-1 files to put into PowerPoint? A client is
adamant about having MPEG files for his presentation (which is fine) but our
software maybe isn't so great? The animation will be created in Adobe After
Effects, then saved as an AVI file. We then have someone take it into
another program (Pinnacle Studio) to convert it to an MPEG-1. So I know
After Effects rocks, but maybe this Studio thing is junk? Is there another
video editing software out there that will give us crisp MPEG-1 files?

Thanks for any advice you can offer...

As Austin said.

When you use Adobe (or anything else) to create the AVI you are using a lossy compression.

That is, tons of data are taken out and tossed to the way side.

Then you take this compressed file, and compress it again (throwing out more
data) in a completely different format.

You have too much time on your hands.


But it's very cleaver I'm impressed.
