Member's Area Movie Sizes?

[Trixie]

Lately we've been posting four versions of our videos:

Two .wmv versions: one 640x480/2000 kbps, the other 320x240/400 kbps

Two .mp4 versions: one 640x480/3800 kbps, the other for ipods 320x240/384 kbps

The mp4s look awesome, I think, even the small ones.

I don't know if we'll keep up all four of those, though. I'm thinking of at least dropping the small .wmv file.

We tried shooting in widescreen but stopped; it just seemed really unnecessary/didn't add anything to the jerkworthiness of our vids. I guess it really depends on the style of your videos and feeling of your sites. I would scope out your competition on thebestporn.com and see what they are doing and try not to fall too far below what is par for the course in your niche.

I'd like to add a flash version, but a few things are making me want to wait on that, mainly that we just don't have the time and computer resources to have our machines and connections tied up so long processing and uploading so much video.
