[MLB-WIRELESS] Antenna mod video online!

[Jason Hecker]

Ah,

Well, even though it's MPG1 it's already considerably compressed at 
1.4Mbit/sec.  I managed to get it down to 500Kbit/sec with a 44MB total file 
size with the same aspect ratio and still quite clear considering it's a 
recompression of a compressed file.  The only reason MPEG4/DIVX gets ~10x 
compression is that usually the original DVD MPEG2 bitrate is closer to 
7-9MBit depending on the film, you throw away 1/3 of the picture due to 
letterboxing as so can crop what would be wasted  pixels (the black ones).  
You can then get an MPEG4 bitrate with a good looking image at 800-900Kbit.

If anyone is interested in a smaller galaxy.avi file in MPEG4 format, then I 
can upload it to MW today/tonight.  I would get a better picture at the same 
bit rate if I could get my mitts on the original....
