vimeo compression fo hd
 

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

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.
