RE: Everyday digest / Loop Videos / How to get file size down!
what is the streaming rate?
Todays market calls broadband 200 - 300 kpbs. The common frame size is
320x240. Players can resize better than encoders can encode larger
frames.
Also, be sure to sue 2pass encoding when converting to WMV, RM, or MOV.
The first pass maps pixel movement. The second pass encodes based on
pixel map. I wont bore you with the details.
Have you tried converting into MOV format? Is a very friendly data type.

I've
been meaning to ask a related question after seeing one of my looping
videos in this digest from Kim. It has to do with finding the best
quality yet smallest file size for videos. For this video below, and the
others, they were shot professionally in a studio with three camera men,
producer, sound engineer, etc...and there was a some good effects like
panning or fading from camera to camera, superimposing camera shots, and
so on. I was given the master on Super VHS, which I paid to have
converted to DVD. I ripped the DVD to the best quality mpeg (DVD editing
quality), then converted that to a series of Windows Media (wmv) videos.
The quality of these wmv videos is acceptable...no overt choppiness in
the sound. movement is relatively smooth, etc, but the files are still
large. A 10 min. 25 second video of mine is 15MB and the size is 208 x
160.
However, is there a media
format that will get the file size down even further without loosing
quality? I've tried Real Audio...no luck. I hear Sorensen Squeeze 4 can
do this but I'm too cheap to buy it.

It sounds like the ticket though.
...looking for other options,
or I just suck it up and accept a 15MB file size for a 10 minute video.
