Hi everyone,
One of my video blog viewers asked me for an explanation of various
quicktime compression techniques I use to make my online videos smaller
for different audiences. I've just published my response:
http://www.andycarvin.com/archives/2006/04/andys_video_blogging.html
In this demonstration, I start with a 10 megabyte video shot in avi
format, 30 frames per second, 640x480 pixels, 16 bit stereo. I then
produced seven compressed versions of it, including ones that utilize
varying frame rates, screen sizes, compression codecs, and audio
compression. The most compressed version I created is 97% smaller than
the original avi video, and is potentially quite suitable for video
blogging in low-bandwidth situations around the world. Some examples:
Original uncompressed video (10 megs):

Significant compression (1.8 megs, 82% reduction):

Extreme compression (292 bits, 97% reduction):

Here's a chart featuring all of the videos and their settings:

Anyway, I hope this is useful for those of you exploring the world of
video blogging.
thanks,
andy
