  44 Minute file under 50 Megs?

  Posted by Sam Caino on January 21, 2013 at 1:48 am

  It’s award submissions time around here and one foundation is asking for files to be under 50 Megs for a 44 minute program. Choices are .wmv, .mpg, or .mp4. I have never seen a file size requirement so low for any of these awards.

  I managed to get a 49 meg .wmv at 145kbps. It looks terrible. Am I missing something or is this the best outcome I can expect?

  NO, That’s a ridiculous requirement request.
  Either they have made a mistake or don’t know
  much about media specifications.

  The maximum bitrate is 150 Kbit/s
  You can try Handbrake (it’s much better at low bitrates than Vegas)

  They will get postage stamp sized video if they want any quality 🙂
