There is also asx and wmx too. They are the meta-file (or simply a text file) pointing to the actual media location. ----- Original Message ----- From: Frank Mixson To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, April 10, 2005 9:15 PM Subject: RE: [AP] Video For Internet - need help with compression Good stuff Jeff, The url that you give names the piece with the horse as a ".asf" file.. what format is that? I thought the window media encoder saved files as ..wmv's. -Frank "Jeffery J.

The first export, at a combined video/audio 272 kbps, 15 fps, 320X240 2-pass constrained VBR came out at 3.9 MB, or roughly 2 MB/min. The second, at 128 kbps, 15 fps, 320X240, 1-pass CBR came out at 1.7 MB, or just less than 1 MB/minute, which I think is your target. If you want to look at either of them they're at www.contentshop.tv/procoder.htm - they are the last two files in the list (Vacation). I identified the smaller file as 108 kbps but it's in fact 128, as you'll see in the player. They are impressive, but to be fair let's keep in mind that most of the material was still photos. The test of a codec is how it handles motion but that's not to say that Procoder did a bad job..it was excellent because the file sizes were the most impressive point about it. The motion scenes were also quite good! If you're willing to halve your frame rate, compose your motion scenes carefully and keep your bit rate down you can do some incredible things with a couple of megs. Here is an example of a "typical" four minute music video at the traditional 29.97 (NTSC) frame rate, with the bits upped to 548. A lot larger but still within the usual 20 megabyte allowance that most broadband ISP's a lot to their customers for "personal online storage" which means you could upload a video like this to your personal "web space". I don't have Procoder so I simply took the DV-AVI file and used the free Windows Media Encoder to convert it.
