Rendered video too big for CD/R
I’ve gotten most everything done wiht a short video clip that I’ve edited except when I rendered it and tried to write it to a CD/R disk, it was too big. I guess it’s time to learn about compression so that I can shrink it to fit. Right?
Can you offer and links to informative site on this subject, or give me some of your own advice?
Thanks! Jonathan

Why aren’t you burning this to a DVD instead of a CD?

I think you might want to explain your ultimate goal for this video. What’s the purpose of going to CD?

Guys I know this isn’t my post but here are a couple of ways I use cd vs dvd… I have clients that I do corporate info videos for that they want put on business card sized cd’s. For that I render the video as a multi-media and mpeg1. That gets about 4 to 5 minutes on a 50 mb cd. I also do some videos on cd for businesses that feel not everyone has a dvd player on their computer.

That’s a great question. Actually, what I’d like to do is render it to a format that is most versatile, has good quality, and isn’t HUGE.
My intention is to ultimately be able to show it on a digital slide projector from my computer; post on our web site; and also make it available for others to simply play on their own computers.
Should I render it as a DVD then? If so, would I render it in MPEG-2 format? And what template option would I select?

I’m not sure how to ansewr that. I guess it makes snese to render it as a DVD, in which case it will be more versatile, right? I could play it on a DVD player, in a CD player, and post it on the web eventually too right (or is that an entirely different ballgame?)

For the WEB or to carry on a CD, I’d probably stick with WMV. Do a separate render for DVD.
