Jackalltog Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Hi there, (My first post, please be gentle) I love my new EOS60D and have now shot 4 video clips i'd like to share online as WMV files. However whenever i try and render such a file it either ends up as rubbish pixelated quality or a massive file of about 60M for a 2 minute clip. I'd be happy with a good 720p quality but i do need to reduce file size. Do I have unrealistic expectations about file size in terms of Mbytes per minute? Please could you help point me in the right direction in terms of tools or achievable file sizes. For editing/rendering I've tried Sony Vegas pro, handbrake and lightroom 4 Many thanks, Stuart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axel Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 I simply copy the link to the vimeo faq page "compression": [url=http://vimeo.com/help/compression]http://vimeo.com/help/compression[/url] WMV is not the best codec. For FullHD you should upload at least 5000 kbps datarate (as recommended by vimeo) which is 37,5 MB per minute, but rather 8000 kbps (60 MB). Use H.264 (which is mp4 as "mov"), or ".mp4". Another tip: Don't export the upload-file from Vegas. Render everything in the best quality you have on your system (or at least with a very good). Make a perfect MASTER. Use this to encode for web a.s.o. The better the original, the smaller the copies can be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
