So i have about twenty 90min films archived as either DV AVI or Cineform AVI (for HD).
I have been rendering these to mpeg2 for dvd....but i'd now like to be able to put them online.
Any advice on what file type and file size to render them down to market as a download? I see some films of similar length at 1GB WMV for sale on large retail sites.
The next question would be how to host them? As these are fairly amateur i don't really want to pay a host a load of money for storage and bandwidth use. Although i sell footage, i don't shift enough to justify spending too much on presentation.
Should i use a password site (dropbox?) to share these films...or perhaps a torrent site? Perhaps i'll have to open multple accounts to keep to their free storage limit? I'm guessing speed is the most important thing for downloads. Any advice how best to share 1gb files (with password protection).
Finally do you think it would be a good idea to place these on a tube site like vimeo? I could password protect each film and offer them as a kind of VOD. Again i'd have to work out the file size limitations whilst maintaing best quality.
Any advice would be appreciated ;-)
