I'm seeing alot of sites now a days claiming to have HD video.
I guess it's a good selling point, but it sure is false advertising. I can see alot of people getting pissed when they go to a site to see something pop out at the in HD format only to realize that it's still the same crap shot in wide screen.
Maybe I'm wrong here.
Either way, I am curious what you guys use to encode videos for web. Is it Divx? Is it Xvid? Which do you like better? How can one achieve that HD quality without saying "fuck you" to your bandwidth?
I'm able to get a decent looking movie using Divx down to about 30-40MB for a 7 minute clip (average)
For all you HD guys...what are your files averaging in size and length?
I'm waiting to receive my HD sony cam via UPS any day now, so I'm excited to really put this technology to good use. I have final cut pro HD, but the output for web files I tried making with it always come out choppy or too large. SO I'm looking forward to hearing what you guys have to say!
