I need to add a video clip to my website. The clip is about 6 minutes long. At the moment the clip is in the middle of a DVD. I first need to convert the vob files and the cut the resulting file so I have the clip. I need my website clients to be able to download the clip as fast as possible (I am an alternative therapist and the clip simply shows my clients some chinese meridian points on the body). So my question is when converting the vob files which will give me the smallest file size? mpeg, avi, wmv, divx etc The quality does not have to be high. I just need the end file on my website be a quick download.
H.264, also called AVC, should be your best choice. The only problem of using this encode format is it takes two times of those encoded in mp4 format. There're lots of converters in the marketplace, and I'm using the PQ DVD to Zune Video Suite.
