[QUOTE="globaldonkey, post: 830858, member: 49844"] I think VBR and Variable Frame Rate are two different things, but I think you're right - the primary objective is compression. From Wikipedia: Variable frame rate (or VFR) is a term in video compression for a feature supported by some container formats which allows for the frame rate to change actively during video playback, or to drop the idea of frame rate completely and set individual timecode for each frame. VFR is especially useful for creating videos of slideshow presentations or when the video contains large amounts of completely static frames, as a means of improving compression rate. I could perhaps understand how VFR would be ok for offline editing, but seems an awful penalty to pay if no TV or display can play it back smoothly. Trust Apple to do something like that ;) [/QUOTE]
