New file size limit for WMV

New file size limit for WMV

Looking at devils video it appears that he didn't have enough file size to give his video sufficient bitrate. I've upped the allowed file size for .wmv to 200MB's. This should be plenty for even very long videos. However see note below...

To rehash my previous directions for creating a decent file using Windows Movie Maker once you have edited your video:

  1. "Save movie file" option which will open up a wizard.
  2. When you get to the selection for "Movie Settings", use "Other Settings".
  3. From the drop down box select "Video for Lan (768Kbps)"

  4. Under movie file size check that the estimated file size is below 200MB.
  5. If it is not from the drop down box select "Video for Broadband (512kbps)"
  6. If it's still not under the limit of 200MB use the next lower one.


One other thing to note is that there is also a time limit around 16 minutes you have to upload a file. If you're on a slower connection you may not be able to upload such a large file. In fact a 200MB file is going to push the limits of a very fast connection to complete the file upload in that time. You may want to consider cutting longer videos into 5 to 10 minute parts so you can maintain quality.

I'll be providing a in depth tutorial on the best way to encode and split videos at some point in time.
