the file sizes I am getting are rediculious

I converted one file (original size 23mb - 4mins long) size after conversion is 76MB

now this is no good,, it will kill my bandwidth. now I know some of the files converted on youtube are as low as 6-9MB,, how can I do this.. I did play around with the ffmpeg settings but still nothing changes..

any help,, these are my ffmpeg settings

-i @input -f flv -acodec mp3 -b 150k -r 15 -ar 22050 -ab 32k -ac 1 @output

thanks guys

I'm almost completely sure that if you remove -b 150k and -r 15 from the command (ffmpeg settings), that your files should get a lot smaller. Just try it. Also running ffmpeg in a command prompt window "ffmpeg" with no other options will print out what the many options are and what they mean. Also the command "ffmpeg -h" will work.

You need to be in the directory that contains the ffmpeg binary for this to work. If you haven't use a command line before, like DOS, you could look up a tutorial that shows things.

Scott,
