Massive AVI File

[iLogan]

I've got a 5.5gb AVI file video, but it's only 1 minute and 12 seconds long.

Its really high quality and I want to put it on the web,

how would I go along doing that?

Are you looking to upload and share it.

[iLogan]

Yes, but on my website, not on like YouTube or anything.

Sounds like you need to sacrifice the size and quality for user friendliness Specialist site Vimeo have a 500mb limit and guides for ideal compression settings, as well as accepting HD videos. Take a look as you wont want to host it yourself.

Use HandBrake to re encode to MP4 at your chosen file size/quality percentage.

Out of curiosity, what is the resolution? An hour program (ripped from a blu ray 1920x1080) encoded at the original resolution is 18GB so that is roughly 350mb a minute. I think your AVI has been mastered incorrectly or something.

I rendered the video from Adobe After effects,

Render it at 58% using H.264 on HandBrake, shouldn't hamper the quality at all and H.264 puts it in a very small filesize.

The bit-rate is ridiculous. That's something like 20 times what a Blu-Ray bit-rate is. Encode it to x264.

If the format is compatible, use MeGUI to encode it to x264. http://sourceforge.net/projects/megui/

Done thanks!
