Do you know which format is best to save rendered animations as (.avi, etc)? and which codec? I have tried saving as avi with standard microsoft codec and it comes out really bad quality.
Its all the same because with avi they all have the same quality, but when you a long reel, it would become very big in size. also when using it in high quality, mov is the best because it has comperssion rates and more freedom. Because avi dosent have comppresion.

Maya or Max shpuld have nothing to do with a video format! The best you can do is render all frames into an uncompressed image format and convert later to whatever format and with whatever compression and codec you need.
To make it clear avi is just a container. There are a lot of different codecs and compression algorithm that use the avi container.
Please dig a little deeper into such a technical topic before you post.
Why not render all frames into .tiff.. uncompressed. Then load it into Video editing program (eg. Adobe premiere pro 2.0) And then putt it all together and then compress it. I think this is a better solution.
Just my 0.02 cents
//edit whoopsie, Crea said it before me.. My bad sorry
hi,
you can also render every single frame, and combine the frames with virtual dub, if you have installed e.g. divx 5.02 you can use this codec, i think its really good
here you can find virtual dub virtualdub.sourceforge.net/
ciao dan
P.S. as Ravens said, you should render the frames in tiff, format its a common file format for video and postproduction
