Hi all,
i have a 58sec long video clip which is 7mb, far too big to effectively email to the people its targeted towards.
Its basically a 3d rendered flythrough of a tendered office build.
Currently it is an .avi file:
320 x 420
15fps
58 secs long
I've been using Zwei-Stein v3.01 to try and find the best method to:
a) reduce the file size
b) export it in a format that all but universally cross-platform acceptable.
Currently i've converted it to 240x180, 15fps with a 10% compression to get it to 4.4mb and saved back as a .avi.
Converting to a WMV type file made it look horrible and bloated the filesize. The only other option this software gave was RealMedia format which i think is the most rare of the 3 to be fair and less likely to play on other people's systems.
We think the main targeted recipient has an iphone which he'll receive/play it on.
But as i've already found out, you can't legislate for what software/codecs folks have on their respective systems. I emailed it the boss and his WMP doesn't have the correct codecs to play it, mine does! And we're on the same domain/network.
This could easily be the same for any potential recipient.
Does anyone have any advice please?
Is it possible to maybe embedd it inside a powerpoint presentation that also embeds a viewer with it? Or is that likely to increase file size substantially?
Thanks for any input offered.
