Re: [videoblogging] QuickTime (and anything else) can make small files

[andrew michael baron]

When using single pass, you can use Average Bitrate, Constant Quality and Constant Bitrate. With 3iVX, I recommend using Average Bitrate, MED quality. The default setting are: MAX QUALITY = 100% MIN QUALITY = 10% This usually works for me. But if you want to drastically alter the quality/file size within this frame work, just tweak the max and min one step. For example: MAX QUALITY = 95% MIN QUALITY = 6% This may suit your quality standards and produce a drastically smaller size than 100/10. This is what I do anyway.

As Andreas has said, you can't compare apples to oranges. -- Verdi <URL: http://michaelverdi.com/ > <URL: http://freevlog.org/ > <URL: http://node101.org/ > On Oct 24, 2005, at 1:06 AM, David Meade wrote: > using 3ivx as per Verid's new tutorial video, my MOV files are > fully twice the filesize as my WMV files. > > ------------------------ Yahoo!
