Hey there, I am just getting my video ready for the paysite and I am trying to figure out which formats to offer. The vid cam I used is one of the top consumer ones, the original format is that AVCHD format (.mts) - Apparently it's 1080i and not p.

Im wondering what the best format I can offer with this camera is? I will most likely want to offer one under a few hundred mb and another above. Which would be the best two for that. The videos are only 5-6min. The original files are very large for 5-6min.

I have already exported some in flash format as I know I will most likely use them.

I also expect to offer it in mp4 format and maybe another. I am looking under the h.264 menu and it has a huge list of different types but I am not sure which one is best suited for my camera. A bunch of them end in 1080p, with my camera being 1080i, would it be incorrect to use those ones?

Sorry for my ignorance on the subject of video editing, this usually isn't my side of the business. I am trying to figure this stuff out myself so I can handle this stuff myself sometimes.

I exported one into the h.264 - HDTV1080p 29.97 High quality format and the 5-6 min video was 1.27gb. I do want to offer the best. Should I lower the resolution or bitrate or what to achieve the best video for the consumer while keeping the size reasonable?
