  • 315 Mo video on the net?

    Posted by Justin Productions on May 4, 2006 at 2:36 pm

    Hey guys,

    Four days ago I finished a big project that I’ve worked on for months and I must say that I’m pretty excited to show it to others. Thing is, it’s 315 Mo. It was rendered in Sony Vegas, as a *.wmv format (I rendered it, like always, in Quicktime, but it lenght 2 Gig) and the size is 704X480 (to fit in Adobe Encore).

    Now, thing is, I would like to put this vid’ on the internet. One, wich website would allow me to put a 315 Mo video on their site, and two, is there a way to reduce the lenght of the video without loosing quality? Maybe by reducing the size? Yeah, but how much? If I had to reduce it, I’d like it to be the same size as the window size in wich my video will play in, on the web page. I don’t want the Windows Media Player to strech it up.

    Any ideas? :\

    Thx guys.

    Even if you could find a place that would host a file that large, you’d be hard pressed finding anyone who’d wait around while it loaded. Do you have compression software, like Compressor (on a Mac) or Cleaner? If I were you, I’d run it through one of those at 400×300 resolution with a Sorensen codec for a quicktime output.

    Well if you don’t mind the quality looking like crap, but it still being watchable, you could post it to Google Video.

    Aside from that, your options are to lower the resolution and the bitrate that you encoded it to (lower quality), or try a more efficient compression format such as h.264.

    You could always turn it into a torrent file. You know, there are legal uses of P2P… ;o) In addition to that, limiting resolution to about 2 thirds of the original size can do miracles. Like the others suggested, further compression will do much good… I think you could easily condense down your filesize to something like 70 Mo without completely crapping it. You can go as low as 300 kbit/sec with WMV and still have very acceptable quality.

    Hey, thx Mylenium.

    What kind of torrent would you suggest me? How could I turn it into a torrent file? I never deal with illegal stuff.

    And how would you suggest to limit the resolution of the original by lowing it 2 thirds?!?

    Thx a lot.
