Left was encoded with iSquint and Right is encoded with Quicktime Pro. Anyone know why it looks so dark? I love iSquint because it's fast, but I don't really like the results. iSquint was encoded using high setting and Quicktime with default.
Got a tip for us?

I've tried the highest setting as well which is "go crazy" or something like that and it's still dark. So my guess is that it'll still be as dark with default setting.
Yes, Quicktime Pro can encode movies. It's really simple too. Just go to file and click Export and choose your setting (iPod, iPhone, Apple TV, etc)
how to fix
I believe it has to do with the H.264 encoding. Quicktime does it, if you turn it on in ISquint it will not make your movies dark. I had the same problem, it takes longer but you get smaller file sizes and better quality.
So give a sample a shot with H.264 turned on. I used to use QT pro but it keeps missyncing my audio, I haven't had this problem with ISquint, but Quicktime pro devliers awesome quality.

The sample was done with H.264 encoding. I am certain. Anyways, it's really no big deal for me. I'm going to continue using Quicktime Pro and FFMpegX.
no way! i encode to h.264 with winmenc 0.7 on my pc, and the images are just as bright as the originals.
