compressing short videos.. help a dumb newbie..
 

ok, i've got a ton of short 5-10 sec movie clips.

what i'm doing is adding the company splash screen in the
front (2 seconds) and then transition to the video.

i've got about 200 of these that i have to go through.

i want it to be 320x240 at 29.97 FPS.

1. what is the best program to use that will minimize work. i'm
using video wave now because i'm to stupid to figure out
how to add text to videos using premiere 6.5 which i also have
installed. (i know video wave sucks but its easy).

2. what is the best compression format (mpeg1, mpeg2, avi,etc)
size is an issue, but i want quality to be watchable not some
square blocks.

right now a 10 second movie is 2.5 megs, which i think is
pretty shitty compression (using mpeg1 320x240 29fps).

Thanks!

forgot to mention. im also adding a little logo to the bottom left
corner of each short clip (after the splash screen).

bump!

You need Cleaner, it's the industry standard for batch jobs like this.
