Hi, I've been reading / experimenting with settings, quality, and file
sizes. Something doesn't make sense, so I'm hoping someone can lend
some expertise. I've read that a reasonably good quality recording will
use about 1 gig / hour. But that's not what I'm getting. Here's what I
have:
Testing by recording about 1 hour of a movie
- Video Width = 640
- Video Height = 480
- Video Bitrate = 4500
- Video Max Bitrate = 6000
- Audio Bitrate = 384 kbps
- Resulting .nuv movie file = about 2.1 - 2.5 gig
With these settings, the quality is almost as good as broadcast (very
slight grainy-ness). What do I need to adjust to get the size down?
Thanks,
Don
