Hi everyone; I'm trying to covert a bunch of avi's that I have for playback on iPod touch...which so far has been no problem. I am now looking to save space during that process. Currently when I burn a movie which has an original size of about 800mb, I wind up with an mp4 file that is around 700mb. I am currently using the following for size specifications. 480x240 400kbps for video 128bit 44.1Khz audio I've seen movies that are full length (90mins or so) and they are ~350mb, does anyone have any guidance on how to convert my movies so they can be that small. I understand that using different video and audio settings will get you a smaller file size but i'm using settings listed from another file, of similar movie length and i just can't seem to get it right, perhaps it is the software i'm using...is there a preferred software that should be used (I'm using VCM 11), which i don't know if it is any good or not. All help is appreciated and thanks in advance...help me help my kids. Cheers, Kali
Take one of the movies that is compressed @ ~350MB and examine the details with MediaInfo. Use that to encode yours at similar bitrates.
