It varies, but is almost always smaller than the original.

For example, this video: http://www.wildcast.tv/play.php?vid=164 was a 72.1MB XviD, the FLV file created is 54.56MB

This video: http://www.wildcast.tv/play.php?vid=174 was a 90.3MB XviD, and the FLV file is 65.20MB

I think it depends more on the number of frames in the video than the source video's file size.

Also I should point out that I changed the -qmax from 3 to 4.  I updated my original post showing this.  I still recommend that you try different numbers and see which one works best for you. :)

How did you decide on the video size 400x304?

There was no science or math behind it.   When I encode the videos with AutoGK, that's the resolution I usually pick so I made it the same.

I've been getting a lot of requests for a copy of my convertor.php file, so I attached it to my original post here: http://phpmotion.com/forum/index.php?topic=3602.msg19874#msg19874   :)

This might be usefull for high quality videos. To make ffmpeg convert your videos in stereo add this to command line
Code: [Select]
-ac 2 and increase audio bitrate to at least 96kbs
Code: [Select]
-ab 96

You can now see true HD quality videos on this site. The conversion process will keep the quality of your HD videos. Please dont try to improve the quality of your low quality videos.

you can see examples on hd-tube.com
