I messed around with FlaskMPEG and I encoded a 4:43 long clip from the 4:3 ratio version of Finding Nemo. There was no sound in the clip and it ended up being 43MB in size, which is quite large for a 4 minute video. The quality was really pixelly and grainy (i used muli-pass encoding at 1293KB bitrate).
about the ''no sound'' problem: are you sure that you used mp3 encoder to encode/compress the sound (or wma, or wav)?? The sound is encoded the same time as video is... So, you might just missed it...
about the size problem: what video codec did you use for conversion??? Using divx or xvid codec, you don't need to set the bitrate too high... Imagine that when using a projector to see the movie, you can set it up to 1100KB... Normally, for tv viewing (up to 32inches) a value between 650 and 850KB is fine (depending on the movie, as more ''fast moving'' scenes needs more bitrate). I intend to post some info about how to use flaskMPEG (or XMPEG which is almost the same) from tha begining... I think i'll do it tomorrow, as it might take a while... So, check the forum again tomorrow...
