When it comes to using the Boards Guides, I've yet to have ANYTHING be small!
it would be nice to have SOMETHING make AMV's around 20meg max ^^;;;
However, at this time, creating small tight files are beyond the rhelm of Guides.

Compression is more of a work of art than a technical things.

Lowering the bitrate decreasing the deminsions will help. The hard part is finding a balance between the two that still provides acceptable quality.

I've never understood why people would actually wanna make their amvs 20mb or less... cause I certainly don't wanna watch em.
What's wrong with 60mb?

I have no problem with 99meg Video's - some people are still using Dial-up!!

I can remember when Wedding Peach was being released; two 14meg .rm's
were absolutely a 7 hour download T_T

What is important to your Video has nothing to do with its bulk size!
(( the true question is; how old of system can play it with the Codec used ? ))

Using the method I just posted on another thread you can fit up to 40 AMVs on a single CD at 20mb each, have them look GOOD, and play them in your DVD player.

Currently, the BEST Mpeg-1 encoder is TMPGEnc. No doubt about it. Plus it's free. (Get it? FREE, as in FREEDOM.)

On a 19 inch TV

If you want a good encode it's gonna cost around 10-15 megs a minute. And if you are unclear on what I mean by a good quallity encode, watch this http://www.animemusicvideos.org/members ... hp?v=23103

I'm reffering to smallest size trying for the best quality.

I got around to watching my rip of Black Hawk Down on an "nVCD" in a 32" flatscreen TV. I won't argue beyond that, but try it before you bash it at least.

Either way if the aim is highest quality instead of versatility I guess it's inrrevelant. I've downloaded AMVs up to 150mb in size and I don't have any complaints as long as the size is justified by ultra high quality.
