One of the main thing that I do to keep file size low is reduce frames/sec. Normally one can get by with 15, 12 or even as low as 10 frames/sec without significant, noticable quality lost...especially when dealing with video being played back on a computer. Obviously if you have a lot of detailed movement, lean toward a higher number. Talking heads can usually be compressed at a lower number. Compared with the 29.97 fps of NTSC video, you can cut frames in half, or even by 3. Audio is another place you can cut some space. Mono vs Stereo saves a resonable amount of file size. If you don't need stereo, don't use it. Also, cut your audio down to 22 or even 11 khz. No need for the 44 or 48 khz when most people can't hear that well anyway (either due to most people having crappy computer speakers or simply lack of need of frequency). You lose your highs when you come down from 44 or 48, but a lot of video simply doesn't need those high frequencies. Your midrange will still be crystal clear at 22khz. Think about how it is gonna be shown. Do you need to show you video at 640x480? Will 400x300 suffice? How about 320x240? This will make a huge difference in file size. (I do understand sometimes you must have 640x480...cool, but don't automatically assume that is the case.) These are some of the basics...maybe you know them, maybe not. A more thorough version can be on the way if you desire. mobrul Loading...
