I was very AMAZED with the quality of the Bizarre Mag's commercial.
It is 30 seconds in length and 3 megs in size @ 640x370.
Anyone have an idea what program/codec was used?

I'd know that pussy anywhere!!! ha ha ha
I think the file size is mainly due to the dark shoot and lack of color, not as much the codec.. although codecs obviously have something to do with the quality/size of any digitized video :high:
no that's not it, next lolQuote:

yes its a good commercial but no that's not the point.
I do understand what u say its like a grayscale image and a color image the size is not the same. Less color the smaller the image size. Anyway, I think there's MORE than that 2 this video. Lets hope 2 get some more feedback :mexican:
why not ask buck to ask them - and then please tell me, too!!!
I did a few days ago. He said he'd ask the people who worked on it. :extat:Quote:

It does make sense!
I am so happy you guys like it! Maybe it will start making me some $$$ :P
Buck
the video is awesome :)
the codec is probably H.263 by Apple (MPEG-4) or so I guesstimate
if a DVD can be shrunk down to 700MB with great quality so can this short clip :)
2 pass encoding does that although you have to tinker with other settings as well
This is a fine example of some encoding that took one HELL of a lot of work to get down to that file size, and still look good. Encoding, as you probably know, is a highly technical skill. I'm curious as well to know what exactly they did to get it to look this good, in only 3 megs.
Obviously the source video was superb, I'm thinking 24p video or something higher rez. Maybe 35mm.
I tried that they have some samples online @Quote:
