Compressing a MEP to under 100 mb

Postby ketsuekiko » Thu Nov 05, 2009 4:02 pm

Okay, so my fellow editors and I have just completed a MEP, but the problem i since the video is 8:14 (514 seconds) long its a huge file. I have noticed when I downloaded MEPs others have made that are extremely long, they were less than 100 mb. Meanwhile my MEP is 375 mb in .wmv format. In .avi filtered it is anyway from 500 mb - 1 gb. Can someone give me insight on how I could make it smaller?

This is no longer neccessary since the MEP was blocked. It consisted of a Megamix of Evanescence songs soooo that's outta the question.

But in generall,U should just render/export a lagarith and import it into Zarx264gui and it should do the rest.

Don't forget to compress your audio (see my signature), and try lowering the bitrate in your video encoder settings. Also consider reducing the video resolution.

I would try different constant quality values in the program. If it doesn't please you: Just use a constant bitrate and you'll definatly get under the 100MB mark. Just to answer your question.
