Okay, so I'm new at vidding and I went through the memories and didn't find anything about this. This may have been asked a million times and may be the dumbest question on the planet, but I have to ask anyway.

I made my first two vids on WMM2, and they are epic. ;) I know that everyone must compress these things somehow because I've seen long ass vids with great quality sound and few MB's.

HELP.

Did you save it on your computer? That gets you a really huge file. If you choose save it to the web you can save it as dial-up modem, ISBN, or DSL, cable modem, or higher. I save it as a DSL file and you get reasnably good quality.

That's how I've always done it anyway.

Yeah, I saved it on my computer. So that's it? Thanks. :) Okay, is there any good free sites to upload?

[frelling-tralk.livejournal.com]

Sorry, can't help you there. I use streamload which you pay for.

You can save it for the web and still have it on your computer. After trying to save it to the web it will say there is nowhere to upload it too, do you want to save it on your computer and manually upload it. So you could do it that way.

Well, I doubted if anything would be free, but I thought I'd ask anyway. Thanks for your help.

There's really no good free sites to upload. You have to mooch from someone, or pay. But you have to be careful, because putting up a vid can be a violation of TOS of many hosts.

Anime vids are generally shared over P2P applications like IRC or Kazaa.

If the vid is for online download, your frame-per-second rate can be as low as 15 fps - this will make a smaller file size and still decently watchable quality.

One of my vids was 93 (count 'em) MB's. Don't ask me how.

I use the option that lets you choose what size to save it as. I normally go for 5 or 6Mb which is pretty good quality.

I always have two versions of my vids. One full size (however big it turns out to be) and the version I upload which is 5-6.

I don't know if this will help, but I use WMM & create decently small files (about 7-15 MB). I save it to my hardrive at "Video for broadband" either 512 or 340 kbps (or 700 if your version has it). Another good setting is "Best quality for playback on my computer," but obviously that would vary.
