Not entirely.

The file's size is also large because you used freaking 48Khz UNCOMPRESSED audio.

Well, you won't be able to upload it again until you have a mod delete the existing copy.

Why not use that time to go read the rest of the guide about compressing audio until you understand it, and fix the problems with both video and audio, before uploading again?

i am really...REALLY sorry about the audio..i knew about it. but somehow i just didnt do it. and the video problem..well im not sure how i let that happen but i DO read the guides. i also kinda figured even in uncompressed cd quality. that song sounds kinda muffled at the start...but i would really like to get this project behind me...besides i already deleted all my premire files. and all my uncompressed copies of the amv. so i think doing that to the compressed copy now would really mess up the quality.. im new to this whole thing. it was my first premire pro project. so i expected mistakes in audio and video compression and cropping. i really apreciate the advice on the video. but i dont think i can do anything about it now. i would really apreciate if you fine folks could offer me a little imput into the amv itself..thanks for your time

The audio part is fixable, and you can quite literally knock around 40 megs off the size by compressing the audio.

Load the uploaded version of the video in Virtual Dub.
Go to File--> Save .wav, give it a name.
Read the audio part of the guide, about using BeSweet to compress your audio.
Make a 160kbps constant bitrate .mp3 using the guide info and besweet from the .wav file you just saved.
Load the original uploaded version in VDubMod.
select Video-->direct stream copy.
select Streams, click delete for what's shown, which should be the .wav audio, then hit add.
navigate to your newly made .mp3, and hit ok.
go to file, and Save .avi (give it a new name)

there, now test the new file you just made, it should be your exact, original video, but now with .mp3 audio, and the filesize should be more like 52 megs.

That will at least fix the worst problem.

once you have a working file that you've tested, that's the time to request deletion, so you can upload the compressed audio version.

I absolutely will not even consider downloading the version that's there now, I have better uses for my bandwidth.

I appreciate the fact you put in the effort to fix the audio.

I'm grabbing the vid, and I'll have a look at it. No in-depth commentary till tomorrow though, it's gotten pretty late here.

I'm not a big fan of the scoring/opinion system here, I usually prefer to just send a forum PM with my commentary, and an idea of what scores I would have given.

That was better than I expected, a very credible effort.

Pretty solid bit of work there.

More tomorrow via PM, time permitting.

Thank you very much:) i really apreciate you taking the time to help me. if there is a vid you need opped or anything i would gladly give you one.

FurryCurry · Post by **FurryCurry** » Wed Apr 13, 2005 2:25 am

I'm just coming back from an 18 month hiatus from amv making, so I don't have anything new released yet suitable to be opped. The old stuff, I think I've already learned what I can from that.

Thanks for the offer though.

Sent you an op as a forum PM.
