Ok, on second thought, will not download. Compress the audio to mp3, it's making the file size way bigger then it needs to bed. Then i shall download.

Your container is MP4. Your codec is something else entirely, and depending on the bit rate, yeah, it probably does. I'd have to see what your original source looked like, not to mention how that differs from your export.

And I don't mean distortion. I mean what I said, blocking. I only have a 22" myself, although it is a Samsung SyncMaster HDTV monitor with full HDTV capability. Whether that has anything to do with it or not, I don't know, but I doubt it. When I full screen your video, I can see macroblocking, and they're pretty sizeable, like maybe a square centimeter... That's highly distracting.

Ah, ok I know what you mean now. My source was ripped from the DVD and I used DVD decrypter than comes with AMV app. I then converted it to huffy (I believe) and then compressed it to AVI. The source files are all huge...about 3g or something each per 10 min...

I will double check it when I get home since I am at work at the moment.

I will defiantly want to clear that up for my next vid. I will be getting my Ergo Proxy dvd's soon and I will be using that as my source.

I also want to try at 60FPS like NosX did ha. That should be fun.

But first thing is first, can I fix the clarity on this as it is now with the source files or am I out of luck since it is completed?

@ Guy: Aye, this song was one of my fav's as well. Then I got his remixed CD haha.

Next song will be so epic I swear it.

This is also something I have not learned to do. I did not grasp the concept very well on it...sigh.

Learning experience for me.

Will it be an issue to compress it now and re-attach it? The song is spliced here and there with premiere but I know I can export it.

So export, compress, attach, compress video again?

There SHOULD be and option in the render screen for video and audio. I use vegas here so i'm not 100% sure. Just go to audio>codec >Lame MP3 (assuming you have amvapp installed), 126kb/s then just set the video setting the same as you had before and hit render.
Should be something like that ...

Yay, Guy07. I got it to compress to 49mb after I used Vdub to compress my audio for me. Saves me about 25mb on the file from my original.

I am waiting for permission to re-upload it now though =/

Ty for making me get off my ass and learning how to compress though. I just wanted you to watch the vid so I took the time to learn how to compress. After 8 hours of working in a kitchen. At 11:59PM. Eyes bleeding.

Haha, I think all that effort warrants a op then.

I got this immediately after you released it, after seeing it on the New Vids on the Block. Right place and right time, I guess

Anyway, there are still a few things I wish you would have fixed up, especially those glaring audio cuts, but overall this is a solid AC video, and it's always refreshing to see a non-action one. I like the general flow and scene selection, but truth be told I was never really a fan of this song so its re-viewability is kinda low for me (moreso after having watched it so many times already

). Still, you did a good job, and I look forward to future videos from you.

4/5

Awww thanks crackz. You watched it that many times and didn't like the song. Thats awesome =p

Honestly, thank you for the help. I do appreciate it. I understand the cuts though...they were damn hard to get to flow well. I might have to try and use a diff program to get the cuts better for future vids.

My next video...I will release without asking for too much haha.

Now to get those Gennon DVD's...stupid no box set Ergo Proxy.

hurry up and upload/confirm the damn video : /

I am actually trying to upload it now but I cant connect to the FTP server...it keeps timing me out.

Maybe the uploader is down?
