Ideal Size for video

[Ellen C. Braun]

Hi,

What is the ideal size for a full-screen video?

I currently have a video which is a small pop-up that I want to be re-created as a full-screen video.

You can see it by clicking the purple rectangle here - www.raisingsmallsouls.com

I am paying my tech-person to re-create it in full-screen-size, and now she is asking me for exact dimensions.

The movie must display very clearly on TV's, computers, DVD players, etc.

What is the appropriate size that I want?

Thanks in advance!

there are a lot of variables there.

what the viewer sees is the thing to worry about.

for instance. if you make a wonderful video that shows like a movie at full screen on your computer, it may show in a 3" square box on my computer because my video card and/or screen resolution is not up to the standards that you created the movie in.

I dont' know anything about creating videos so I can't really answer your question. Just give you more things to think about.

sorry,
robert

Anyone know a good place to find out more about this issue?

Check out this article. It gives dimensions for different TV display standards.

Also, keep in mind, A computer is much more flexible with the players usually taking care of resizing the video for full screen.

Common monitor resolutions 800x600, 1024x768, 1280x1024
Wide Screen 1440x900, 1650x1050

Hope that helps.

Ideal size for video varies like if you are playing a documentary in a video then it size must be litle extended but if there are some then the video size will be different it must be little narrowed
