Need some advice on videos

by Tyson Faulkner
4 replies
I am making some video tutorials to teach people how to install my software. I've never made any videos for the net before so I was wondering if someone could give me some pointers. What size the videos should be, what format to save it in, etc.

I am using camstudio to do my videos.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Tyson

    Hi Tyson,

    According to the people at Trafficgeyser who's business is video...
    YouTubes latest recommendations are:
    MPEG4
    640 x 480 resolution
    64k Mono or 128k Stereo MP3 audio
    30 frames per second


    Then other formats rate in this sequnce...

    MPEG4, QuickTime,AVI, WMV, DivX, MPEG2, RealMedia, Flash
    Keep an aspect ratio of 4:3 (640 x 480, 480 x 360, 800 x 600, etc.), otherwise the quality of your video will be degraded.
    Youtube has a max length of 10 minutes.
    Hope that helps

      I think YouTube is really pushing HD now. Their player defaults to 16:9 proportions, and they're recommending resolutions of 1280 x 720 (16x9 HD) and 640 x 480 (4:3 SD).

      Dan's content is irregularly read by handfuls of people. Join the elite few by reading his blog: dcrBlogs.com, following him on Twitter: dcrTweets.com or reading his fiction: dcrWrites.com but NOT by Clicking Here!

      Dan also writes content for hire, but you can't afford him anyway.

        Ok so I'm recording my videos in a 640x480 and the quality looks good enough for what I'm doing. How do I get these things in a webpage and to stream?

        I am recording them into .avi and can convert to .swf with Camstudio.

        Do they need to be a different file type to post on the web and stream? Or do I just need to learn how to code them into a webpage?

        Thanks for the help so far

    Try a software called Camtasia...

    I've used it and it's very good.

    you can add "baloons" , notes etc.

    Also - it will product different formats of video and I think also Flash...

    Enjoy
