RE: Everyday digest / Loop Videos / How to get file size down!
You want specs? I'll give you specs.:)
Bit Rate: 218 kbps
Video size: 208 X 160
Aspect ratio: 13:10
Audio codec: Windows Media Audio 9.1, 32kbps, 22kHz, stereo
(A/V) 1 pass CBR
Video Codec: Windows Media Video V8
Basically, I covert from mpeg to wmv using the color pocket
PC option. Seems to work the best.

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. http://www.sorensonstore.com/product_info.php?url=http://www.sorensonstore.com/products/sq4cswin.html
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.
