Hello folks, having a hoot animating to my old MP3s. Am using Vista32 on a just coping laptop- but could use some advice on codecs. Do any of them compress more than others? A piece I made, even in lowest res, still came in at 667megs. Its also not quite large and sharp enough to see detail. Any thoughts? Is the max upload size 100?
Also I'm struggling to upload. When converted to a video, its saved off to file, but I can't find how to access the upload for it! No doubt something blindingly obvious....
Cheers....

667meg is MASSIVE! is your video long in duration?
im no expert but if you test it out using just a 10-20 sec selection using different codecs, you should find one thats a lot better than that.
ones like divx or xvid are usually tiny files but have more loss in quality. Then theres the standard ones like microsoft video one or cinepak.
hope you get it uploaded.

Thanks for the advice there- I'm no expert either! Piece was 480 x 360 res, and 4 minutes long, which isnt too bad- but yes a ridiculous size- made in Microsoft CRAM. Right enough Cinepak is less than a third the size for the same piece. Time to reshoot anyway.... (though I can foresee real problems
when I come to my 9 hour epic reconstruction of Gibbons Rise and Fall of the Roman Empire)
I'll stick at it and with luck get something up for Sunday... nothing like a deadline to get you going...
Cheers
