I am having alot of trouble compressing this video that I made.... one of 5 actually (havent been able to figure out compression) and really want to post it on the org before I go to Iraq (in the Marines) after much deliberation (with my self) I have decided that I should ask If any one out there Would mind compressing it for me

I wouldent ask if I hadent already tried every thing I could think of (got all the guides tried to follow them, think I got everyting right.... didn't work. tried it again... still didn't work. Repeat to infinity) I have no options left, Just want to get this video posted. someone please help!

What format are the videos in now? Are you trying to compress from uncompressed RGB, .VOB's, MPEG, AVI's? And what size are they?

Give us some details and maybe we can help.

Although this really should be in video help. Hopefully a mod will move it.

type of file- AVI File
size- 673 MB (705,994,284 bytes)
width- 720 pixels
height- 480 pixels
duration- 0:03:06
bit rate- 1536kbps
audio sample size- 16 bit
audio format- PCM
frame rate- 29 frames/second
thats all the info I have. hope it helps. as I said I got the video to compress but now can't get the audio to do the same.

ok your problem is your resolution. try converting to something like 300X400, and set the bitrate to about 1MBps

Huh?

673 MB (705,994,284 bytes)
1536kb/s

Uhm...those 2 things don't go togheter. If it's a 3 min. vid. with 1500 kb/s then it should between 35-40 or less no matter which codec you used.

I doubt that's an accurate info. you provided. Are you sure you haven't mistyped one digit in bitrate info. ? What codec is it and how did you aquire such inaccurate info. (so I assume)? So far, I haven't encountered a codec that does something like that.

And one more thing, are you maybe editing with DivX/Xvid clips?

hi nate,

ignore bum. he's just messing with you. what program are you using to compress audio, and what audio codec are you using?

Well, for one thing, he's using PCM. He should really convert to mp3.

As for video, pretty much everyone else knows more than I do.

I believe that refers to the <b>audio</b> bitrate, not the video, based on where it was on the list.

90% of all that was Greek to me. This is a uncompressed AVI straight out of premire. I've been trying to use AviSynth and finally got the video down to 66MB, when I try to compress the audio It says There is no audio imput. I know I'm doing all the things the guide says right but nothing works (not the first time I tried to compress this... or the 10th) I tried exporting in hyuff (or something... sounds like hyuff looks kinda like that but I cant spell) still could compress the video still said I had I had no audio input. I have double and tripple checked every seting I can think of and can't figure out what I'm doing wrong! I'm trying to use the xvid codec, and what was all that stuff about resoulution?
