Im very new to messing around with mpg4's/Avi's ect. I recently got the Sony handycam DCR-PC105 and have started to transfer the DV to mpg4 onto my harddrive. Of course the files are absolutely huge and I want to be able to put as much as I can onto say a CD (Im not burning dvd's).
I had experiemented with shorter clips first in Premiere and trying to see how much I could reduce the file as either an AVI or some other format, however I had no luck in Premiere even when I reduce the quality the exported file becomes BIGGER! Then I tried After Effects, at least there I had more options to export to and I managed to get the file size down a bit but there was no sound even though I had selected the audio option.
In short though Im asking if anyone has general guidlines for taking an MPEG4 from A DV source, and how I can I go about getting say a 60 minute Mg4 onto a CD. I know it can be done as I've seen and watched alot of AVI/MPG's that are longer than this on CD"s before with reasonable quality. THe Mpegs I get from my Sony come in at only 320X400 so they are'nt huge even.
Any suggestions/help greatly appreciated!
