I think the point is you are better off doing your render to an intra-frame codec first and then compress that file to your liking. For the compression, if you do not have a player/platform requirement, I would go with H.264 at a low-bit rate (using an mp4 wrapper) With most compression software now you can setup a watch folder so that you can automatize that process.

I agree...DNX HD, or Pro-res or Photo Jpeg compressors are super fast. Not as small as H264, but quality is great.

personally I'd probably output DNxHD 145 or ProRes LT unless you need to push the file across the net on a slower connection. even then it might be faster to output a ProRes file, then encode to h.264
