AMV Size

[Scintilla]

Alternatively:

Oh, god forbid I should try to make my AMV look prettier, make it more accessible to dial-up users, prevent it from making slower computers stutter all over it, cut my bandwidth costs as much as possible, and learn more about digital video while I'm doing it.

O EM GEE!!!

So many sizes to choose from...well here's a related question...

If the size of your amv is smaller...will the file be smaller as well? Cuz I really need it so WMM can stop freezing on me.

There is a balance between screensize, filesize, and quality. Basically, you get two of three.

If you want a large screensize and good quality, the file is going to be frickin hyuuge.
If you want a large screensize but a small filesize, the video is going to look like crap.
If you want good quality in a small filesize, the screensize is going to be smaller.

Of course, with a smaller screensize than the source materials is going to be losing picture information, but there is this thing human brains do called closure that makes compression codecs work, and the same principle applies to downsized screens.

hth,

I think it's possible to have all three of those comfortably, though that's pretty friggin' difficult and most of us aren't NEARLY there yet.

Well, H264 shows the ability to do all three, but that kind of proves your point, since very few people have released videos in H264/attempt to release videos in H264 (trythil being the only one I know of, although I will be shortly).
