amv size help

Postby SuperSaiyan005 » Mon Aug 21, 2006 12:26 am

When I make a amv, it comes out to be 50 or more mb. Is there any guides out there too make the file smaller, but also keep very good quality?

50 MB is generally pretty good for distribution on the Org... o.o

You could try compressing it into h264/AAC with RealAnime, but it's only gonna shave like... a bit... and set up improperly it can result in not-so-great results.

Try the program for yourself, see if it works out.

(HINT: Don't attempt to compress something you've already compressed. Put the uncompressed AMV into RealAnime for best results.)

if you're using WMM, you have to export in DV-AVI, not wmv in order to compress it in any other format.

I am trying to get it on a site, but I need the file too be smaller. Around 30 or lower. And yes, the files are in wmv, but I am starting too use vegas. So I can save them avi, or mpeg

Not true. Not true at all.

If you use Windows Media Encoder 9 Series, you can create a profile which outputs true uncompressed WMV. Uncompressed frames, and uncompressed PCM audio. VirtualDubMod or whatever can then turn this into anything else.

But yeah. You don't need DV-AVI to have uncompressed output from Movie Maker.

Reminder: DV-AVI is compressed. And lossy, too. Not to mention 29.97 fps and interlaced.

At least output from WMM. There is a version of DV-AVI that can output 24p. And at least DV-AVI keyframes every frame (unlike most other lossy compression) and the compression is much less than that of MPEG-1, -2, and -4 (Xvid, Divx, etc).
