good evening,


I just moved to hdv with an xlh1. New to this, I am trying to compress about 3 minutes of video to the best quality I can for video display on vimeo.

I have been using mpeg 4'

sure could use some suggestions.

so far my sky has to much cisual blocking.


thanks

What bit rate?

mpeg 4 is one good way or AVI
But I dont think you can upload more then 5 seconds in HD
unless your willing to pay $59.95

Totally untrue. I have hours of HD on Vimeo. Youu just have to work on your compression techniques.

Vimeo has some suggestions in the FAQ

Vimeo HD FAQ (http://vimeo.com/help/hd#hd_encoding)

I've used the MainConcept or Sony H.264 rendering settings converting my videos from 1080i to 720p. I think they are coming out fairly true to form and you can upload in HD without paying the price. You're just limited to I think 500Mb of uploads per week to get "HD" quality.

For me it was totally worth the price to buy a Vimeo membership because I wanted to be able to customize the player and have specific controls over who can view what. Very worthwhile.

those settings work reaallly well.
