Hi All,
I am a newbie to video encoding and this is my first post here. And my problem is when I encode a WMV file. I use Windows Media Encoder file to encode a video and the file size increases by more than 100% :(
Here is the whole story.. I downloaded a WMV video from GoToWebinar and I tried converting it to FLV file to be put up in my webpage. When I tried converting it to FLV I got an error. I tried it with many softwares. Nothing worked. And I tried encoding the WMV video first and then tried to convert it to FLV and it worked. Now the problem is the file size. I use Windows Media Encoder to encode the WMV file. File size of the WMV file before encoding was 73 MB and it plays for approx. 1 hour. After encoding the file size becomes 300MB. After converting it to FLV, the file size is 120MB. Is there a way to reduce the file size?? I need to have it on my webpage as a streaming video. 120MB is a huge size to have it in my server.
Can anybody help me in reducing the file size. I think I am making some mistake while encoding the WMV file. I tried it with different output settings in Media Encoder. But nothing works.
Please help me!!!
