What's the optimal trailer size for teasers on galls? How to edit?

[pradaboy]

I was wondering what is the optimal size for trailers on galleries, I've got a few I wanna use on my galleries and they are almost DVD quality but they're 1.8mb @ 11 secs.

I think this will be a turnoff for downloaders coz most of 'em don't have an 8mbit DSL line like myself.

So how much should it be? 500kb? 1MB?
And what's the easiest way to comprimise the size?
(I'm no vid expert!)

THNX in advance

I'd suggest less than 1 mb wmv files
that can get you 20 secs clips at a decent quality

i'm using mpegs mostly, any suggestions to comprise quality?

Your best option is to allow them to pick between sizes from high bandwith and low bandwith...

bump, I'm still clueless on how to trim the size down...

never mind, tmpeg is really easy to use
