    TLKoB "Behind the Curtain"

    Export complete! I finally found a configuration that yields reasonably good quality video and audio with a mind-blowingly small file; over 31 times smaller than the raw footage!

    View it here! http://files.thpe.net/leahalalela/TLKoBBtC.wmv (38.8 MB, 20 minutes 28 seconds)

    Much thanks to ThiagoPE for providing hosting space.

    Original post:

    One of my local news stations just ran a 30-minute behind-the-scenes special for TLKoB. I've snagged it on the DVR and am in the process of transferring it to my computer for editing to remove commercials.

    The final file size could still be fairly large. Does anyone know a free hosting service for large files that I could use to distribute the video?

    I have no idea if it will upload something that big. I'm sorry if that doesn't help. =/ I'd love to see that though!

    Presently stumbling my way around Adobe Premiere. The video's been trimmed down and is presently exporting. Here's hoping everything runs smoothly.

    Euhm, make a zip file first? That sometimes, can make it a tiny bit smaller.

    Would be awsome to see

    Bahati are you exporting with DivX or XviD compression? It would help the filesize a lot if you use one of those codecs.

    If you use yousendit.com and it gives you problems, you can use rapidshare.de. Only problem with either of those is the incredibly long upload times. Hope it all works out. I'd love to see it.

    I think I've just about got it. Did a test export using an MPEG encoder, results looked good, now exporting at a smaller scale for better file size. Stay tuned.

    EDIT: Having a slew of problems with compression. Hoping to have it resolved within a few days.

    A very similar program aired in my area last winter when TLKOB came to Seattle, it was called "Lion King Backstage Pass". A local news weatherman hosted the program and included interviews with all the actors, directors and costume people. It's a fantastic show.

    I have it on DVD also but I didn't have a way to upload it like Bahati... since it's so big, but i'm interested to see how similar the programs are and if mine's different I'll try upload it too.

    I'm not very experienced in this, all the files on the DVD are in a video_TS folder with the bulk of the space being in .VOB files. There are also .IFO and .BUP files. I've already tried using programs like the Xilisoft DVD ripper to convert to AVI but for some reason they're not working. The filesize by itself is HUGE and I've already uploaded some of it but I quit because it's too big (the VOB files are like 1 gig each)

    Can you help Bahati?

    Thanks.

    Wow, what a fantastic video! Thanks for uploading it.

    Now I really want you guys to see mine because it's a perfect compliment to Bahati's, his focuses a lot on the puppetry and michael Curry because he's local to Oregon and mine has a bit more information about the actors themselves and includes interviews with Taymor and Garth Fagan. It has some of the same information but most of it is different.

    I was really surprised to see the amount of live footage from the actual play they used in the Behind the Curtain show, that was really cool and unexpected.

    Now I just have to find a way to compress VOB files and convert them to AVI, maybe someone here knows how to do it? What program did you use Bahati?
