I found that using no compression option allowed me to record at 23 fps rather than the 12 I was stuck at before when attempting compression on my G4 400 ghz machine. I then compress afterwards in quicktime itself. I did have to settle for using an external mic rather than the built in mic in the isight if I wanted my sound to match the video. I need a new dual 3ghz machine now...

  One thing I like about recording with no compression is that you have a "master" file that you can export from with a variety of compression schemes depending on how the video is going to be viewed. You always keep the "master" file safe and sound without compression. I almost recommended that method in the article, but then would have had to explain how to "export" out of QT Pro in greater detail.
