Are... you.... serious....?

RM makes baby Koop cry
Ya whats wrong with getting good quality sound and video in under 20 MB!!!

Nothing's wrong at all! Besides, I can't understand why people would prefer a lower resolution and a larger file size.

Oh my freaking god.... What in the hell is wrong with you people!? Thinking RM gets you 'higher resolution and lower file size'?

I sware, we should ban you from the site... If only we were Nazi's like that! T_T

Darn, if there's one thing I hate then it's WMV... If there's a second thing I hate, and let me tell you, there is, then it's RM

Bad quality, fast movement's get compressed really bad...

I usually avoid any AMV here that's smaller then 40/50Mb...

It's there to spite the people who know what they're doing. Of course it's not like their videos are looking any better.

Of course they're better, they use dragonballZ and have linkin park, or even better, Naruto~!

Sorry, but its very possible to get good looking results in that filerange if the song is around 3 minutes.

I'm sorry that you think a good looking amv needs to be XBOX HUEG. ,_,

I personally hate big sized amvs. There have to be some really good reasons to distribute them in the 70+ MB range. For example very difficult to compress source, lots of very fine text/effects or a very long song. I've seen plenty of amvs where the filesize just wasnt justified at all. For me its a sign of lazyness. ._.

When hunting for amvs, an amv in wmv or an (unjustified) 70+ size must really interest me to get downloaded.
RM will probably never have a chance. There is absolutely no excuse to use that fugly codec.
WMV9 can look very good. But it eats up more resources then a smaller and similar looking h.264 encode.

Counting on the fact they have an average length, but It's kind of hard to make a chart right now with filesizes and lenghts compared.. ^^'

Since the community will likely gravitate towards h.264 we'll face a problem once (And, patheticly, still occasioanlly) seen with DivX and XviD encodes. People with absolutely no clue how to play them.

Even in 2006 I've occasionally heard "I get sound but there's no video." when someone tries to playback an XviD or DivX video. H.264 in mp4 or MKV is only going to make this situation worse.

What suggestions to people have to combat this? Would an Org Codec Pack be a decent idea or would that likely just conflict with other, already effective packs like the CCCP? Should the org endorse CCCP?
