Yes Andrew's file sizes and bit rates (file size per minute) are as unpredictable as his content and are usually very large per minute. But he maintains quality that way.
Today he was just over 4 mb a minute Yesterday he was over 7 mb a minute Sunday he was only 3 mb a minute. Last Friday he was over 8 mb a minute. So he's all over the map in bit rates. That's why I was wondering how he is compressing. So you change your quality setting from piece to piece which determines file size per minute variance Andrew. How do you decide motion complexity? Amanda at the desk is low complexity while helicopter flying over flooded New Orleans is high complexity? So the quality setting not the bitrate setting is Andrew's secret to diverse file sizes per minute. Thanks for the tip. Oh one more question Andrew. From whom did you learn to encode that way? -- Taylor Barcroft New Media Publisher, Editor, Video Journalist Santa Cruz CA, Beach of the Silicon Valley http://FutureMedia.org > On Sep 7, 2005, at 12:46 PM, andrew michael baron wrote: > > I have Tiger, QT7 and 3ivx 4.5.1 > > I encode to single pass constant bitrate at 6700 kbits/sec > compressor quality med, high or best, depending on motion > complexity of footage. > maxium quality Quantizer is around 90% > minimum quality quantizer is around 10% > frames per second is 15. > keyframs forced every 300 delta frames > half-pixel motion and four vector motion engaged. > On Sep 7, 2005, at 11:15 AM, Verdi wrote: > That's huge!
