Hello Everyone!

The problem is the size of the video is very large. I want to reduce the size and and also to change the bitrate of the video

Thanks in advance,

Hi 12444444,

You could write a compressed AVI file to make your file size smaller.  Here is a KnowledgeBase article about how to do that: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/0A4D5BF47FD3FF0186256E9A004FD671

As for changing the bitrate, I'm afraid that's not something you'll be able to tweak programmatically in LabVIEW.  If you can get a different camera with a different bitrate, then that would be fine.

Hi Julian,

This article is very heplful. I have tried the basic DV Video Encoder and size of the file is significantly reduced.

But the bitrate is also affected.

I want to know is there any connection between them?

I think that this webpage explains fairly well what the connection is between bitrate and file size: http://www.ehow.com/info_12117426_bitrate-mean-video.html
