Hi Carey, No need for such a large file. There are compression options without loosing significant quality. I should mention that every time you compress a file the lower the quality, so you need to find the sweet spot. I would also recommend Handbreak, additionally you may want to try the following parameters for optimal web delivery: H.264 codec at size 1280×720, bit rate 3000-5000 kbits/sec, key frame every 30 frames, AAC at 128kbps in stereo for sound. Hope this helps Sven Kielhorn eTown Videos Creative & Marketing Director www.etownvideos.com 413-324-1130 Sent from my iPhone On Mar 7, 2011, at 9:22 AM, Shalini Bahl <shalini at iam-bc.com> wrote: > ** Be sure to fill out the survey/skills inventory in the member's area. > ** If you did, we all thank you. > > > > <pastedGraphic.tiff> > > > You could reduce the size of the video, which is what i did using Handbrake and it worked really well for me.

What are the ways of sharing large size (5-8 gigs) video on a Wordpress site? Is VideoPress the only way? How much bandwidth do I need to allow? Should I load on a dedicated server and stream from there? Im familier with Youtube and Vimeo premium service. Are there any free (open source option) or is it just all premium options. >> >> Thanks very much. >> >> -- >> Carey Baker >> Midnightson Designs >> 413.265.7116 >> http://www.midnightsondesigns.com >> carey at midnightsondesigns.com >> >> _______________________________________________ >> Hidden-discuss mailing list - home page: http://www.hidden-tech.net >> Hidden-discuss at lists.hidden-tech.net >> >> You are receiving this because you are on the Hidden-Tech Discussion list. >> If you would like to change your list preferences, Go to the Members >> page on the Hidden Tech Web site. >> http://www.hidden-tech.net/members > > _______________________________________________ > Hidden-discuss mailing list - home page: http://www.hidden-tech.net > Hidden-discuss at lists.hidden-tech.net > > You are receiving this because you are on the Hidden-Tech Discussion list. > If you would like to change your list preferences, Go to the Members > page on the Hidden Tech Web site. > http://www.hidden-tech.net/members -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
