Compression Question

I must be blind, I promise you I was looking for that as I got the video ready to upload but I never saw anything more than a messages saying that it needs to be no larger than 100MB. But I will try and see if I can see it again, being I already have it entered I don't know if I can get that option again but I shall try. Thanks again for the advice.

Even 11 minute videos can be compressed down to a reasonable size. Don't be afraid to use min quant 3 or even 4 in XviD. The quality is still reasonable, without sticking us with insane filesize.

Basically, we're all much happier if you don't do an oversize upload.

And, of course, don't forget to compress audio.

Don't worry, I do compress everything, I have been making AMV's for some time so I am not too much an idiot. I just have never made one this big and with this good of quality. I can't seem to get it to go smaller than 217MB so I am going to have to ask permission if I can find where to ask it... so far I am seeing nothing but I am still searching the forums...

What's the framerate and resolution? Did you try using XviD or h264 yet, and if so, what kind of file sizes were you getting?
