Well, it's a short documentary that has to fit three purposes, and one actually is for TV. So, in its natural state, it's a little under 15 minutes long. Thanks for the data rate advice. -- Rhett. Rhett- Follow Michael Verdi's advice... I used the Freevlog tutorials to compress Kitkast (kitkast.com) and I often had shows between 13-15 minutes. If you follow Freevlog's tutorials, you'll probably get it down to about 60 MB. Casey http://www.galacticast.com/ SPONSORED LINKS Fireant Individual Typepad Use Explains YAHOO!

You may also want to consider using BitTorrent if you are regularly publishing large files. If you decide to do this, I'd consider using Prodigem.com to host and serve the Torrents, or perhaps BitTorrent.com since they just launched a publishing/hosting service too. -Josh On 5/29/06, Casey McKinnon [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Well, it's a short documentary that has to fit three purposes, and one actually is for TV.

[videoblogging] Re: Large vlog posts
I think we need some details: *What are you using to edit/compress? Is it QT or are you porting it over from another editing program? *What was the bit rate that you selected? *Did you use one of the pre-formated QT options? Which one? It is a constant battle to balance file size, quality and audio quality. 400MB is a bit large, even for those that have true high speed broadband access. My battle scars have taught me the higher the bit rate the better the video quality and the larger the file size. *Do you have to have it in stereo? Seriouly, for just spoken word Mono is fine and that will help to reduce the file size. Just some initial thoughts but still need more info.

I just finished our next post, and it's over 400MB in size. The video resolution is already 320x240 (can't go lower) and I don't want to skimp on the sound any more, so I don't know how to make the file smaller. It's been encoded to QuickTime as a fast start file, but attempts at pulling it from our server show it has an unreasonably long queue time and, because of the file size, the queue keeps getting exhausted, leading to starts and stops in playback. I'd like to do something to rectify this without cutting on quality or making it harder for our viewers to view the vid in a syndicator or other client like DemocracyTV. What would you folks suggest? -- Rhett. SPONSORED LINKS Fireant Individual Typepad Use Explains YAHOO! GROUPS LINKS Visit your group "videoblogging" on the web.

I edited it in Adobe Premiere, made the final cut an uncompressed AVI, and then used QuickTime to convert it to QT format, as Adobe Premiere's QT export is sub-par in my experience. *What was the bit rate that you selected? *Did you use one of the pre-formated QT options?

No need for directional sound, so stereo isn't necessary. -- Rhett. SPONSORED LINKS Fireant Individual Typepad Use Explains YAHOO! GROUPS LINKS Visit your group "videoblogging" on the web.

How many minutes of video do you have? The good advice is to simply make shorter videos, cut stuff up into serials. This is not tv after all. You don't have to fit into a 30 minute timeslot. :o) Limit the data rate to begin with. Depending on what video codec you're using limiting the datarate to a number between 300 and 600 kbits/sec. And while you're at it check the bit rate of your audio. If it's just talk you should be fine with 96 kbps in mono. -- Andreas Haugstrup Pedersen URL: http://www.solitude.dk/ Commentary on media, communication, culture and technology.
