File size problems.

[Pete92SL]

I'm trying to make the edited videos a final product. There is no more then like 64 megs of video and sound at the most. It saves fine, but the 6:34 video is like 1.48 GIGS!

Whats up with that and why can't I make it smaller?

Thanks,

Pete

PS- Adobe Premiere is the product I am using.

Hoowhee. What format are they being saved in? And at what resolution? Could one be a little more specific?

[Pete92SL]

I'm sorry. The video is recoreded in 640 by 480 and the file type is AVI. Someone told me I need to compress it down. All I did in Premeire is
went <<file -->Export Timeline --> Movie and saved>>

Thanks

Pete

I am a newbie, so feel free to take my advice with a grain of salt. You can use Virtual Dub and select Huffyuv or DivX as a compression codec. Or you can use TMPGEnc to make the videos MPEG-1 or -2. All these ways make videos smaller than straight capturing. Use this table for comparisons to decide which compression is best for you. Good luck!

I hate to be a pain in the a$%. But how exactly do you use Virtualdub to do this? Is there anywhere that explains how?

Thanks again!!!

If you are capturing, use this link:
