Video Compression Advice...?
Hello, I've had a digital camera (Ixus 700) for almost two years, and although it's a great camera, it offers no compression for the video clips i've taken. A 20 second clip is 40meg. My pictures folder is gigantic.
What is the best way of compressing these AVI uncompressed files but retaining almost perfect quality? I'd love to know a good lossless one, albeit apparently they don't save too much room.
Since these are treasured memories I don't want to distort/blur the image using a bad compressor... Any recommendations?
Cheers!
Answer:
Compress them as MPEG-2
At least you will have DVD quality, and a regular DVD data disk will play ordinary mpgs on most DVD players sold today.
Here's the specific for a NTSC DVD file:
Type = MPEG-2 (*.mpg)
Frame Rate = 29.97 fps
Frame Type = Field Order A
Frame Size = 720 x 480
Video DATA Rate = CBR at 6000kbps (9800 max)
AUDIO 48000Hz, 224kbps, stereo, MPEG audio
With this, you will be able to author DVD disk at some other time. If you mean compress for storage, I believe you can find a compression application (ZIP) to make the files smaller for archiving. However, if you mean compression, like MPEG, read on.
If you are not going to edit these clips and simply want to save the file, you can do a couple of things. Be warned, however, that dealing with large files is time consuming, even in this day and age of processors.
