ok, this file is about 221 mb, but its a great 5 minute CG movie i made, it took me about 6 months total to make, and around 500 hours or rendering, i hope you enjoy

Warning: this file is 221 Mb large, for those on dial up, this will take for ever

this one is a 33mb file. same movie but the quality it crap, and the movie is squished,(kinda flat), but its still my movie, i recommend teh larger one, but this one is the smaller one
see below for better quality smaller files


Update: thanks to multimillion2k i now have some smaller files

Ever considered re-encoding in another format?
Or at least a lower bitrate..

i did, the original avi was 2 Gb's but i just can't bring my self to lower teh quality any more, and if i reduse the resolution, in premeire, it ruins everything(the effects, and what not)

You could make a trailer of it? Or a sample.

Besides, you'll eat a lot of the bandwidth of that site.

he has unlimited bandwidth, anyways, i put a 33mb file on there the quality it crap, and the movie is squished,(kinda flat), but its still my movie, i recommend teh larger one, but this one is the smaller one

NiteMare im gonna download it to support the movie you did, and to give my advice about it, im gonna be the most honest i can be

If you use a codec like XviD you could lower the file size a lot while loosing small amounts of quality.
Download and install Koepi's XviD Codec (both encoding and decoding) If you need to set it up a guide can be found at www.koepi.org
Then Download and install VirtualDubMod.

Once you have done that open the file (the original 1gb AVI would be great as the quality will be about the same as the 221mb MPG one but if you use the 221mb MPG version to start the process you will have both MPEG and XviD artifacts, but it won't make a lot of difference).
-For any warnings you get about VBR click No.
-Then click Video > Compression > Select "XviD MPEG-4 Codec" as the codec and then click OK. OK to any more messages.
- Then click Video again and select Full Processing Mode
- Click file, then save as and pick a location for the new file, and wait for the process to finish (it could take a small amount of time).
- Once done you will have a file about the same quality as the 221mb MPEG version, but this time using an MPEG-4 stream that allows it to be a fraction of the size.

Make a trailer nitemare

I did a quick re-encode and I ended up with a 30MB file encoded in Xvid - I'll post it if you like. I'm sure had I done a 2-pass encode it would have been reduced quite alot more. I'd say the quality is about 95% of the quality of your 221MB one. That's a major difference! Seven times smaller..

Can you please post it, I really want to watch the movie... Thanks .
