Video Editing/Encoding Help
 

Hi guys

I need some help with video encoding.

Currently we use Sony Vegas 6.0 c and Adobe Premier 1.5 Programs to make high-res and low-res videos to be downloaded off of our website.

When we import an AVI from Premier into Vegas then encode with DIVX codec we lose a lot of quality. We are wondering what settings we should be using to maintain quality whilst keeping the lowest possible file size.

At the moment the video files we are making are 5mins long about 50mb
And the low-res version is about 7mb.

Any suggestions as to what we should use for the following:
1. A high-res video
2. A low-res video

Thanks for your help.

Matt
