PLEASE PREPARE YOUR .MOV USING MPEG STREAMCLIP

1. Begin by downloading the free program, Mpeg Streamclip, from http://www.squared5.com.
   
   
2. Select the Mpeg Streamclip for Mac or Mpeg Streamclip for PC, depending on your computer platform.
   
   
3. Launch Mpeg Streamclip and go to File/Open Files and select the .mov that you want to convert.
   
   
4. Go File/Export to MPEG-4.
   
   
5. The quality slider should be at 50% (this is actually fine for great playback).
   
   
6. In "Frame Size" select 720x480 for standard or select "Other" and type in 872x480 for widescreen.
   
   
7. Select "Make MP4" in the bottom right of the program window.

This will compress your file into an MP4/QuickTime file that will be much easier and faster to upload (with virtually no quality loss). All uploads must be in the MPEG-4 container format (.mp4, .m4v).

• H.264 video codec, 720x480 or 872x480, maximum 1Mbps bitrate, 30fps
  
  
• MPEG AAC audio, stereo
