Just finished rendering my first movie, 8 minutes long with thiras' xvid settings and it's ~450 mb. (840x524)
Now, for comparison I have nihilum's al'ar video on my comp so I checked out the size, and it's actually around 480mb.. but also is 14 minutes @ 1152x864. When i went into properties and the summary tab, it shows they used a "video 2" codec which is what I'm wondering about.
So what is this video 2 codec? it seems that it is really memory friendly, even at a high res., 6 minutes longer than mine and only 30mb more.
If i can get more info on this codec above, I'd appreciate any feedback on this. at school right now so I can't exactly mess around with lookin at different codecs and whatnot, but thx in advance
