Normally we encode your video clip(s) to a CD. Each new video clip starts a new set of minutes. Any needed editing is performed at $100/hr. Allow 24 hours to complete a project.

We normally advise customers to encode their video clips at both high and low speeds and then give their viewers the option to select the speed of their connection, much as we did on our home page at this web site. Click on the highlighted descriptions below to see a sample of each type of encoding quality.

  • Dial-up Internet - 56 Kbps modem WMV video: This encodes your video to Microsoft's Windows Media Video format. It downloads in real-time on a dial-up modem connection at a data rate of 50 Kbps. The image size is 240x180 pixels played at 15 frames per second.

  • Broadband Internet - Cable/DSL or better WMV video: This encodes your video to a high quality Microsoft Windows Media Video format. It downloads in real-time high speed connections at 370 Kbps and can be easily viewed in a large window or full screen. The encoded image size is 320x240 pixels played at 15 frames per second.

In addition to the Windows Media files shown above, we can help you encode to other formats such as Flash, H.264 MPEG-4 and MPEG-1. If you need help with sample HTML for your web page, this code can normally be provided at our hourly editing rates.

In order to fit video clips on the Internet, we compress your video significantly. This can cause digital artifacts, stutter and smear in some types of footage. While people watching your video with Broadband technology (Cable/DSL/T1 modems) will enjoy good video, when your video is transferred over slower dial-up modems it will be played in small windows at less than 30 frames per second. For best results when planning your project, consider these points:

  • Stay close so details aren't lost.
  • Work from a tripod so your camera is rock solid.
  • Use a minimum of panning, tilting, and zooming.
  • Forget complex titles and far-away details. Keep the image simple, clean and stable.

If you need to create the videos, give us a call to shoot and edit it with our digital cameras, audio systems and lighting rigs for a high quality, Internet-ready video.
