Is 1085x695 mp4 size possible?

[jfharper]

I'm trying to build my new website with some animation material and decided on the size 1085x695 for the video size.

I've been encoding out of Premiere using the QT animation codec then trying to use handbrake and avidmux to encode to 1085x695 mp4 to play within a flash player and for the iphone from the website...but handbrake and avidmux won't encode either this codec or size...I'm not sure which.

Can someone offer some suggestions as to what I can try? Should I just change my website video size to something else?

Most video codecs will not allow odd frame sizes. Many will allow miltiples of 2 or 4 but you're best off sticking to multiples of 8 or 16. So 1088x696 will work better.

Thank you.

OK, I got the 1088x696 to encode with handbrake.

Now, I'm working on 1080x720 and this will not encode with handbrake. I thought these two numbers were a multiple of 8 and 16, respectively...I'm wondering if I'm missing something with the concept of the multiples numbers. Could someone please offer some quick advice on this? Thanks.

Do both numbers have to be in the same multiple, so both would need to be either multiple of 8, or both multiple of 16?

keep the width as a multiple of 8 or 16 is best, actually do so for both and you should have no problems.

There has to be some other reason besides the resolution that prevents it from being encoded. I don't use that program, but maybe if you give the MediaInfo information on it someone else can help. Does it give you any error messages or anything else helpful, a log or something? Who knows what might happen when you try and work with downloaded stuff. For example, your video is 1.5:1 and surely has a PAR/SAR set, something you should do yourself when you get it working.

OK, I started playing around with this, and I think I found the problem. I was using Premiere 5.1 to encode an intermediate file using the PicVideo DV codec at 1080x720 and handbrake would not encode this avi at all...no error or anything. Then I tried encoding to the same codec (picvideo) using Premiere 1.5 and handbrake would encode this avi...so it has to be something that Premiere 5.1 was doing...anyway, I have it fixed now...thanks for the replies...I was stumped on that one.
