on average–file size ?
hey guys
i was just wondering on average…
how big a one minute video should be file size-wise….after
compressing it thru squeeze…i understand there are plenty of variables that would figure in…but i just want to see if i’m on the right track…

That question is really too vague to answer. It all depends on what you are shooting for. I’d suggest grabbing some videos off the web (if that is what you are encoding for) that are representative of your goals and checking out what they are using for compression meters. Either that or provide way more detail here.

sorry i guess i was just wondering before i got started
i have one minute interviews….
a graphic open and a graphic close….shot on mini dv
maybe the correct question would be what is a file size unrealistically too big ?
is 2mb too big for download ?

No, 2MB is fine. For a one minute clip, I would say anything in the 480h range that is over 6MB may be overkill. 4MB is a good target. For 320h, 2-3MB is a good high ground, while 1-2MB is great if quality doesn’t suffer significantly.
