Web Video

[Sherman]

Doing more work for websites.
Using Vegas, usually render out to .wmv at 512, and sometimes 256, which can really suck.
Any ideas on how to improve quality of web video while still keeping the file at a reasonable size.

How long are the clips?

Try to break up the clips into segments and then have a menu of links to the individual clips. Then you can boost the bitrate, while keeping the length and file size low.

Trial and error is always best. it also depends on how large of a viewing window you are using. 320x240 is all over the place, but I see video moving to larger windows - 500 - 800 width. Of course you need to increase the bitrate when you increase the window size to keep the quality.

Post a link to some examples.
