I am using Sony Vegas 6a to encode mpeg files(please tell me if other software is better), i have got MPEG files which i need to convert into files which are smaller but still can be played in full screen at a good quality. Each movie is about 10 mins long and i need to keep them to about 20mb each.
Any ideas??? and how do i do it??
First off, Vegas uses the MainConcept encoder, which is one of the best for MPEG-2 (and from what I understand also for MPEG-1). We really need some additional information to be able to help.
1. Do you need a specific video format (MPEG-1, MPEG-2, something else)?
2. Do you need a specific audio format (ie MPEG, AC-3, something else)?
1.for the video output i need wma or AVI 2.at the mo i am using mpeg for the sound
3.i havent got a specific resolution just has to look good in full screen mode and a 10mins of video shouldnt be any bigger than 20mb
Get virtualdubmod.
Open the mpg.
Select video, compression, and try using DivX, XviD, or whatever you prefer.
Select file, save AVI.
It takes a few minutes, but you have a finished AVI, of much smaller size than the original mpg.
