Tutorial On How To Make Movie Small Using Real Player
1. Encoding a VIDEO using Real Producer
download Real producer basic
Encoding your video becomes necessary because usual video formats are bigger in sizes and hence some real efforts needs to be made in order to upload from our end and download from other members end...so encoding makes the file size small while not hampering the quality...so lets get going with encoding...
It is assumed that you've already downloaded and installed Real Player Basic from the links provided in the 1st post. Launch Real Player from Start>All Programs>RealProducer Basic 10
This will launch RealProducer and you will get to see this screen:
1. Now you've to select the VID that you want to encode, click the Browse button:
2. Locate and Select the Video (by clicking on it) that you wish to encode and click Open to select the Video:
3. As soon as the Video gets loaded you'll notice that the left hand pane will display the starting frame of the Video and in the Input File you'll get to see the location to your Video..
4. Now click on the Audience button:
5. As soon as you click on the Audience button, this window will be displayed:
6. In this window you'll notice that in the right hand pane, you'll see 4 Audiences listed, Click on each Audience and hit the Delete button on your keyboard to delete all of them:
7. This will clear up the right hand pane as illustrated in the CAP below:
8. Now from the left hand pane, scroll down and Click on "750k Surround Stereo (VBR) 700 kbps" and Click on the Arrow button right in the middle of both audiences pane to move it to the right and ensure that all other settings are as it is as displayed in the CAP below:
9. Now go ahead and click on the Close button on top of this dialogue box.
10. Now click on the Video Filters button:
11. Make sure that Deinterlace / Inverse telecene is checked and Automatic is selected and verify that all settings match with the CAP given below then hit the close button of this dialogue box:
12. Now click on the Clip Information button:
13. this can be filled according to your wish, after you're done filling in the required information, hit the close button of this dialogue box to close it
14. Now click on the Edit Destination button (as shown in CAP below) to select the name & location of the output of your encoded file:
15. Name the encoded file what you wish to, in File Name box and hit the Save button to save the name and location of your file:
16. Now you're all setup to Encode your Video, go ahead and click the Encode button to start the encoding process
17. Notice that as soon as you hit the encode button, the video in the left hand display pane starts playing and you can see the status of your video in the Status bar, and the audio indicators moving on left of the display pane (highlighted below):
18. Now when the file in the left hand display pane is finished playing once, it starts playing in the 2nd display pane (the right one) that is because we selected 2 Pass Encoding in Step 5. Now remember here that 2 Pass Encoding is the best and you need to stick to it if you want quality...so I've highlighted the right hand display pane, with audio indicators and status bar which clearly displays that the 2nd Pass is in progress (refer to CAP below):
So this is how it works out
cheers
