Hey guys, me and my friend spent about 7 hours or so yesterday making a short Hasslevania trailer (don't ask, there were a LOT of technical difficulties). Anyhow, the different results we got all look like crap, more or less, and are generally really huge files. The clip is 23 seconds long.
I have:
The largest and best quality one, which is an .avi and 46MB (!!)
The next largest I think worked, it's in flash and is 17MB, although nothing I have acess to will allow me to play the file and see if it actually works
The next size down is 1.2MB, is fuzzy-looking and a Real Player file.
And lastly, the worst quality one by far is only 600KB, really small, and really blurry. This is a .WMV file.
My question to people who have made trailers before: What do you use to balance quality with a filesize that doesn't suck? Or are 46MB game trailers the norm? I don't really want to exhaust my bandwith like crazy if I don't have too. I think the content-wise it came out really pretty well, but the actual deal looks much better than any of the files we made.
Thanks, and please hurry so I can upload this thing!

I usually just use windows movie maker and set it to something like 5 to 10 mb resulting in fairly good video.
