Avi / mpg / Avi

Hi Troops

I'm using Senuke to upload videos to multiple sites, but it seems many only accept either avi / mpg or avi. The thing is, I normally use flv as it's reasonable quality but small size.

If I use these formats above, the file is hugh, 700 meg for a 4 min video. This is a pain for uloading as takes ages.

1) Which file format gives best quality for small size?
2) If using camtasia/movie maker to convert your video, which is a good file size option to use to get something decent looking but again, not too big.

Thanks,
Phil

h.264 codec mov or mp4 format.

A cheap but high quality encoder for encoding your avi with h.264 codec is Quicktime Pro at $29

You will want to encode it at high bit rate though to retain quality while obtaining some compression.

Regardless since the master needs to be high quality for the final result to retain some image quality your files will be fairly large.

AVI is just the container. You can compress .avi files with the appropriate software such as MediaCoder - more than a universal audio/video transcoder (it can convert videos etc.). If a 4 min .avi video is 700 megabytes big, I can assure you it's uncompressed.

Another option would be using WMV, for example.
