Hi!

I've almost no experience with video and various formats. I have 250MB
video file (think mpg2) in resolution 7XXx5XX. It contains sound, too. I
need to squeeze that file to something much more appropriate for web (let
say not larger that 20MB). What is smallest usable resolution?

I found that transcode is utility i should use but i'm lost with all
switches and parameters. Could anybody with tanscode or is there
something simpler?

Hello Mirko,

You could leave the mpg file the size as it is and torrent it. If you
check out this link you should be able to find a free torrent tracker.
http://chomskytorrents.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=22
The tool you need to make your .torrent file is " aptitude install
bittornado "
manual : man btmakemetafile

Once you made you .torrent file it need to be upload it to a tracker. Then
you open this .torrent with a torrent client :
aptitude install bittornado-gui

You will need to setup the internet connection to allow for torrents, thats
is you will need to open some ports for the torrent client and
may need to port forward these ports if you are behind nat.

I run my own tracker so if you want to do so dummuy runs of a .torrent file
I should be able to you. I use noip for a free domain name for the
torrent.

So there food for thought, should you lower the quailty of the mp2 and go
for the standard download this file from your hosting or leave the quality
alone and check out the torrent world.

hey

dvd:rip ( http://www.exit1.org/dvdrip/) could do the job. it's a gui with
ffmpeg, transcode and other video tools for its backend.
