  • large wmv file size

    Hi!
    I imported a short movie in avi format that was about 3 minutes long and about 60 megs. I added a 30 second title and rendered it in wmv format. Now my file is 125 megs! I thought WMV was a compression algorithm? Is there another format that will give a smaller filesize and that would have wide use on the web? Its 720 x 480 at 30fps.

    Maybe I could fine-tune it some how and not lose too much quality.

    The quality i kind of borderline anyhow. I get thee Moire patterns along the fence in the movie. I am using Vegas 8 pro.

    Thanks

    MP-4 should work. The Sony AVC codec. WMV would work too, but if you crank the quality slider up to high, it gives you pretty big files. Try rendering at 70% and see if it knocks the size down. Mp4 is the YouTube standard.
