I don't think file *size* is as important as data rate. Like Verdi's saying, you want people to be able to view your videos without them constantly stopping to buffer. The better quality you can get at lower data rates, the more likely you are for people to watch your show and not get frustrated

Well the data rate settings should be the same on Windows as on OS X. The problem is if your video editing package doesnt have the right encoder built in, and you have to go to an intermediate format that is then loaded into an encoder. Ther are potential problems where either quality is

Yes,decent source footage is vital, but its easy to throw away that advantage with poor choice of final encoding settings. The more I watch that video, the more I see areas that would have benefitted from a higher bitrate. The nature of the footage also lends itself to tolerating low-bitrate

Hi John, If you¹re spending all that time scanning them, which takes time, I¹d suggest scanning at print resolution, which is 300 dpi. You never know when you might need something going to print. You can always downconvert for web later. But you can¹t take web ready art and make it print ready.
