I've seen the video, it's not bad. The intro is ok too, but really, you could have cut it to about 4 seconds (the stuff at the very end) to show the studio name, and gotten pretty much the same overall effect.

The idea of an intro, or outro is to 'brand' your name into the minds of people watching, but in a positive way. That's why commercial logos, always use short repetitive sequences.

1. Fuck dial-up. This is 2004 not 1994.
Espically since I pay 9 bucks a month for dsl (after the router, and Dsl box was paid off ofcourse) and Dial up is 20 a month.

Point your gun of self-righteousness in the other direction, Beo. If the people encoding those bumpers that are longer than the videos knew how to properly encode - then there wouldn't be a problem and you'd be right. It's not my ignorance that results in other people making 1minute bumpers that take up 30+ mbs - it's the ONE WHO ENCODED IT.

Since when does a person get called an idiot for complaining about the idiocy of others? That's a little dumb, no offense. You don't have to be a noob to compression to notice other people can't compress for crap - it's actually the opposite. :roll:

/To be fair, if you can encode that huge bumper to take up little to no space, then it's just something to skip, and not a major problem. My complaint was about those who have huge bumpers and who can't compress them.

That's okay, I was replying to Beowulf, not you. ^.~

But if you're curious, I'll explain. Beowulf says that if you can't encode, that means I'm stupid. I didn't agree with him, so I said as much.

As to your thread - read the last paragraph I wrote, it was a general reply to the topic of this thread.

Ahh right you are. It never occured to me that someone could be a big enough moron to not hit the "2pass 1st pass" button but since thats what you were complaining about in the first place, it should have.

My bad.

Actually, I see it a lot with wmvs - and you know how big those are (with crappy quality despite the size). The last one I got was literally 60mbs for a 1:30 vid, with all that extra space (about a minute extra) going to the 'exit' sequence. o.O

Makes me shy away from anything over 5 seconds. ^_^;
