what is best capture setting for web videos?

[method]

hi all . I am trying to capture some video and be able to publish it on web. I wonder what is the best setting for web video so that size is not huge and the quality is not low. I am using pinnacle studio 10 quick start 10.v. I be happy if some who worked with this sofware give me some guides.Thanks

wmv or flv are good web formats. But don't mention "publish on web" and "quality" in the same post..

Hard to say, but the smaller the frame size, the lower the bitrate can be used, and the smaller the file will be.

You can convert to WMV with WMM or WME. Height an width is really relevant to the bitrate you are using. Both have a few presets, WME allows for completely custom presets. Try a fe different ones and tweak them, you can use a pretty large resolution and still get some pretty good quality.

Here's a 500kbps 640x360, running time is a little over 7 mins, file size is about 27MB's.
