• After witnessing the continued decrease of involvement in the SpotterNetwork staff in serving SN members with troubleshooting issues recently, I have unilaterally decided to terminate the relationship between SpotterNetwork's support and Stormtrack. I have witnessed multiple users unable to receive support weeks after initiating help threads on the forum. I find this lack of response from SpotterNetwork officials disappointing and a failure to hold up their end of the agreement that was made years ago, before I took over management of this site. In my opinion, having Stormtrack users sit and wait for so long to receive help on SpotterNetwork issues on the Stormtrack forums reflects poorly not only on SpotterNetwork, but on Stormtrack and (by association) me as well. Since the issue has not been satisfactorily addressed, I no longer wish for the Stormtrack forum to be associated with SpotterNetwork.

    I apologize to those who continue to have issues with the service and continue to see their issues left unaddressed. Please understand that the connection between ST and SN was put in place long before I had any say over it. But now that I am the "captain of this ship," it is within my right (nay, duty) to make adjustments as I see necessary. Ending this relationship is such an adjustment.

    For those who continue to need help, I recommend navigating a web browswer to SpotterNetwork's About page, and seeking the individuals listed on that page for all further inquiries about SpotterNetwork.

    From this moment forward, the SpotterNetwork sub-forum has been hidden/deleted and there will be no assurance that any SpotterNetwork issues brought up in any of Stormtrack's other sub-forums will be addressed. Do not rely on Stormtrack for help with SpotterNetwork issues.

    Sincerely, Jeff D.

If this should be in another forum please feel free to move it.

Basically I am trying to find out what process you use after transferring your video to your PC to have your video a small size yet quality view for visitors (therefore limiting bandwidth). I am looking to Upload video finally to my website but Ive noticed that with Studio 9 for the smallest file type, for one minute it could range up to 20+ megabytes. Any advice, suggestion on software for being able to upload Video clips at a small size yet have a decent amout of minutes to view.

Also, If this is something to where you just upload big file sizes and not worry about Bandwidth let me know.

Thanks...

Another thing to look at is resolution. You can always make that smaller. Try splitting one long clip into a couple of shorter clips. There's a lot of things, but generally, 20MB for 1 minute of decent quality video is about right.
 
Yeah, I figured that much about resolution. The problem I was having with the 20mb files is my Flashfxp (ftp) software for some reason would upload the file, then quit, then ask if I wanted to replace the file, seems as tho anything larger than 5mb gives me that error, hence the big reason of asking about possible video encoding methods, etc.

Anyone play around with the FLV extension that Google Video and several others use? Any difference in size. My main goal is to upload more videos, save on diskpace or hostspace, or whatever you call it.

Any and all recomendations are greatly appreciated....

Try using Windows Movie Maker. Choose "save to my computer"
then select "video for broadband"
you can select 150Kbps if it is tripodded and there isn't much motion, otherwise choose 340Kbps
 
Video takes up a lot and lot of room on your hard drive. Yes there are different resolutions and cut down the resolution to play it faster. I like what people do when using Quicktime (mac or pc) to put up their videos. Another option is to upload, store and share your videos via an account on Youtube. I've seen several videos on Youtube already and the tornadoes and storms look interesting.
