Standard .wmv file size?

[RyanLanane]

For every minute of video in hi and low resolution seperately.... How many megs should the file be ? In .wmv format of course...

Just as a general rule of thumb for videos I've worked with, for 1 minute at 320x240 aspect ratio for broadband, 2.5 MB.

I'm far from being a video ex[ert, but that's what my videos come to.

It all depends on what image size and what frequency you are using for the high and low resolutions.
I have high resolution videos of 700K wmv files at 720x480 that are about 5 Megs per minute, high resolution files of 500K wmv at 320x240 that are about 4 Megs per minute, medium resolution files of 400K wmv at 320x240 that are about 3 Megs a minute, and low resolution files of 250K wmv at 320x240 that are about 1.75Megs per minute.
As you can see, it varies a bit. I think it also depends on what program you are using as your editor (but I am not certain of that). These examples were all done using Vegas Video, though some were version 4 and others were version 5 of the program.

Just what i needed, TYVM ....

Thought these file sizes were too large... And especially for the given quality
