What are the kids using to compress video these days. - GoFuckYourself.com

Have a rather large .avi that I'd like to knock a few gig off. What are you guys using these days? I have a feeling things have progressed since the last time I did it.

Probably Xvid

Ryan St. Germain · 11-26-2007, 02:36 AM

do you want to convert the existing file, or re-render it from the edited source?

budz · 11-26-2007, 02:40 AM

H.264

H.264 is the new gig i hear although i have no experience... i wouldnt leave it in avi if you want to gig it down... a nice wmv would do fine. drop me a line and tell me what yorue ending result is, I may just knock it down for ya

h.264 isn't very new it's amongst others the compression method used for
mpeg-4 encoding.

right... i meant new to me.. Ive just started reading up and learning on it... my mistake of words

If you just want to do this one file, download windows media encoder or use windows movie maker. (both free)

If you're going to make a habit of this, then there are better options depending on how much you want to spend.

qxm · 11-26-2007, 03:58 AM

ive seen DivX, Xvid (.avi) bicubic - H.264 .....become somewhat popular but the standard compression formats are wma and mpeg... no luck with matroska .MKV containers yet........

the average vid birtrate is 700-900kbs but for really cool quality you might want to go 1100kbs+

AVI is actually a container format that is not married to a particular codec. An AVI file could have a 25,000kbit/sec DV master stream, or a 128kbit/sec divx "free tour teaser" stream.

You do realise that AVI is a container format for the most or all of the codecs mentioned in this thread?

I'm not sure why you would suggest changing from AVI to another format.

qxm · 11-26-2007, 04:07 AM

yeap .... whut ever you do don't deviate from the standard formats (avi, wmv, mpeg)

dozey · 11-26-2007, 04:07 AM

How uncanny

Ryan St. Germain · 11-26-2007, 04:29 AM

h 264 works great, particularly in a .MOV format, where at 1482 stream and a 640x480 size you are getting about 10-12mb per minute compression rate.

That is what I used to use years ago. Did not know if it was still the "in" thing

Oh well I didn't know you wanted to be cool, I thought you just wanted to compress a file.

You'll have to check with the younger GFY crowd to find the "cool solution"
