I've creating my second video. My first one happens to be another hobby of
mine... boat design and can be found at:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TujngLy_QK4
For my second video, really a remake. Its basically the same video with some
enhancements that have been suggested by Chris B and by my desire to make a
720p version of it. Aside - I built up a new computer and its bringing my
render time down from about two months down to where I should have everything
rendered by the end of the weekend. Anyone interested in building their own
system for doing this kind of work, check out this thread.

Anyway, I was starting to try and put the images together and found that the
software I was using before isn't up to the task for doing 1280x720 pixel
bitmaps. I was using...
1) Bitmaps to AVI, AVI-Creator, it still works fine for this conversion.

2) AVI to MP4, Free AVI_TO_MP4, It down sizes them to something real small.

Can anyone suggest a better method? I have already done a search on this forum
and checked the resources page, which led me to these. Anyone have a better
route to get to 720p? I want to work on Windows and prefer freeware. I don't
really have any plans of going professional.
Thanks.

ffmpeg <http://ffmpeg.org/> is free and can do what you want. The package is
mainly developed on Linux, BUT Windows binaries are available as well as GUI
frontends, see: <http://www.videohelp.com/tools/ffmpeg>

Thanks Thorsten, Once I connected to your second link to get the Windows
versions, I was successful! The UI doesn't seem to handle working with
bitmaps, but running the ffmpeg.exe in the command prompt does fine... once I
figured what to use for settings.
Which brings me to a tuning issue.
I've fiddled with the bitrates and I see a drastic quality difference. Is there
any rules of thumb for setting the bitrate? Obviously, higher is always better.
But I'm guessing that at some point equipment can't keep up.
CASE 1 - DVD players... what can a typical DVD player handle, before it pauses
or pixilates?
CASE 2 - I'm creating a 720p video - 1280x720x15 frames/second using mp4. I
want to put it up on YouTube. I know their size quotas and I'm way under that
even with very high bitrates, but factoring in typical download rates to home
broadband Internet connections, what kind of bitrate should I aim for?
Thanks.
