Hi,
can somebody give me some hints for compressing my contest video? The size is 320x240, and I just can't get it small. As VCD mpeg it's 19MB, as DivX avi it's about 30 MB. Can someone help me?
Thx

I'm using Windows Movie Maker and it seems to do a good job of managing the file sizes. For example, when I combine individual avi files it produces a wmv file that is much smaller than the combined size of the individual avi files.
I think the guys in the 9th card contest thread made some good points about the time limit. 90 seconds seems a little bit short for me. I think it would be better if the limit was more like 2 minutes...

thanks for this hint eric now i got my vid to 5mb.
i like the 90s-limit because then one concentrates more on the quality than on the quantity. I also have some tricks that I haven't included into my vid because of the time limit, but I just show them next time.

Ok, here are the results:
1st place: TheEMan
2nd place: royalJBZ
3rd place: Eric

Congratulations to you all . RoyalJBZ, you have improved a lot since the last contest. I think that if you keep training, you have a chance to win the next contest. All the videos were cool. Thanks for them
Again we have 4 prizes and 4 entrants so everyone can get a prize. EMan has to choose first and the RoyalJBZ etc. Send me your address by a pm and if you are choosing a shirt then send me your size too. If you choose the clock then you might contact directly Chipmaster.

I don't need a prize so you can pick what you like out of the remaining prizes. |
In that case I would like the blsck 21ace shirt.

Sorry for not getting a vid, I've been having massive computer problems and i just can't figure out some stuff.
But hopefully i'm just going to the vid me and King Joe did for fun up soon and at least submit something.
@Joe: Good job man, I'm glad you've come a long way since i started teaching u a while back.
Congratulations to all on the nice vids as well!

Yes, I have already seen three stacks shuffle. It was not with many chips but still. The 9th contest is already over but you can of course enter the next one (when it is announced).
