I am working on a website for a client who, when finished, will have about 20 videos in the gallery section. I have already converted tp mp4, ogg and webm videos, but I was wondering what a reasonable file size is for these different formats. I checked this question, “ What is a reasonable file size for a 4-minute video on the Internet? ” But I'm still not satisfied.
For conversion I had .mov files. I opened them in Windows Movie Maker, cut, muted, and took a picture. Then I saved them all as .mp4s. Then I used Miro Video Converter to convert them again to .mp4, which slightly reduced the size. Then I converted the new mp4s to .ogg and webm.
Now I have run out of final reductions:
- Mp4 files range from 3 MB to 30 MB.
- Ogg files are a bit more sporadic. most of them have a range of 10 MB-30 MB, but then I have several, which for some reason are about 70 MB.
- webm files cause me some concern. they came out at about 2 MB-10 MB with excellent quality. I almost feel it's too good to be true ...
Should I worry about these file sizes? I did some calculations based on my internet speed, which is 40 Mbps. in this scenario, it will take him about 11.6 seconds to download a 70 MB video, which is my biggest video. This is too long? I kinda feel like that. Will the user be able to start playing the video before downloading it. By the way, I will use the HTML5 tag with flash backups.
