MOV Compression

[The14thGOD]

I am trying to get a good mov compresion to be about 100-200 mb (5.5 min video) but im having problems getting it that small without making the video smaller (currently 320x240 and the video size is 300mb, Mpeg 4 compression)

Is anyone familiar with mov compression's and which is the best for smaller sizes?

and id like to avoid the whole avi thing ^_^

thanks in advance for any help

Any particular reason? I'm of the impression that most viewers around here prefer .AVI to QuickTime...

Goodness...with .avi (and XviD) you could probably get that in the 50-70 MB range, easy. Few people will be willing to download a 100+ MB file for a five-and-a-half minute AMV. Especially at that resolution.

...I assume this is an AMV we're talking about.

ya i prolly should have said it was live action, a project i did in class

what is the likely hood of someone who doesnt watching amv's/anime would have avi codecs?

thanks again for the help

Depends on the person. If they watch any kind of videos that can be downloaded then they probably at least have the DivX codec, which can play back XviD files. Beyond that they probably wouldn't have anything else.

Alright, I guess I'll try it and see what happens.

As long as you encode them with the DX50 FourCC.

MOV is just a container. The type of compression depends on the codec you're using. Probably not the container you want to use, though. As was stated earlier, XviD/DivX AVI is standard for AMVs around here.
