compression of video for the internet

[Guest]

Archived from groups: rec.video.desktop (More info?)

I would like to send a video over the internet via email, but I know
it would have to be shrunken and compressed to the extreme. I have
Adobe Premiere Pro, and I'm wondering what are the best settings for
exporting video from that, if I want the file-size to be extremely
small yet still nice-looking.
Any advice would be appreciated,

How long is it? What size files can your email system handle?
What format is most likely to be welcomed by your viewer(s):
WindowsMedia, Real, QuickTime, MPEG, Oog Vorbis, etc.
How much quality do you need to preserve? How small can
you make the frame before you lose your audience? How much
can you slow down the framerate (15FPS, 10FPS, etc.)?
A great deal depends on situational tradeoffs which you didn't
mention and maybe only you can decide.

You could ask and answer a million questions about size, style, format etc
all day. Or just make a wmv around 750k or mpeg1 around 500k. Both available
straight from Premiere timeline.
You have a really powerful fun piece of software that will export mpeg2's
straight for DVD.
That's sweet

Try reducing the video frame size.
Also reduce the sound sampling rate and select mono sound.
You may need to experiment when reducing the video bit rate to find an
acceptable video bit rate without reducing the quality of the picture
too much.

I can't yet say how long it is but I was hoping for about six minutes,
and under ten Mb

mpeg

I'm aiming for about 160 x 112. I wouldn't want to slow down the
frame-rate, so any trade-offs would be made in picture quality. Is it
possible to reduce the "data-rate"? 'Cause if so I'd like to do that.

A lot of mail servers won't even handle 10 Mb attachments. I found the
easiest way is to host video on a website and then just email a link to
the page so that your recipient can download the file from the web
instead of getting it through email.

XVid = A bad choice. In terms of quality/size it probably can't be
bettered, but not many people out there have XVid codecs installed
(certainly not joe six-pack). If you want to support a wide audience
MPEG or WMV are probably good bets.

okay - good - that's what I'll do, if I ever figure out this compression thing.
