I encountered an interesting issue today....

I have been using the Neptune website for video sharing. I have always selected SHare - share Video On-line within the Video Studio interface - selected WMV - best quality and have uploaded directly to Neptune Website. (You can also log into Neptune and directly upload any WMV file to their site once the file is converted)

I noticed is VS 12 that the share video on-line to Neptune has been replaced with You Tube. So on my last project when I wanted to share the video on line - I just converted my project - Share - Creat Video File - and selected WMV Zune - 640 x 480 because I figured this was the format that best matched what I had been doing before.
After you click Share>Create Video File the Create Video File window opens and at the bottom are the Properties. Are they the same in X2 as the are in v11?

Interesting the file converted to WMV and uploaded to Neptune just fine....HOWEVER the file was almost twice the size. a 650mb mpg converted to a 110mb wmv!! I then went back to VS11+ and converted the same mpg and it converted to just 60mb.... Clearly VS12 is either not using identical parameters to what it used before .... otherwise I'm not sure why the file size should be so much larger. I have limited storage space on Neptune - so I'd rather my file sizes not be any bigger than they need to be.
Again, are the properties actually the same?

I can either continue to do the conversion in VS11 - or find a solution to getting the same file size/type in VS12 - any suggestions???? It's certainly easier to stay in the same program rather than close VS12 - open VS11+ and do the conversion there..... sort of seems unnnecesary.
I don't like the preview window image that X2 produces when capturing, so I capture with v10 then edit in X2. Not ideal, but it works.

ANyone know what happened between ulead and neptune??? The site isn't the best but it's certainly cheap and useful - and best of all I like to control privacy...giving access only as I would like to.
YouTube can do that too.

thanks.

kind of odd, right? I did contact Neptune about this and they didn't have an answer ( I didn't expect them too...) They deferred to Ulead Support and I'm deferring to the user board....

let me know what you think.

As for you tube and PRivacy - I wasn't aware that I could put a password on samples there...but what is nice about Neptune is that I have my own site and can keep a vareity of samples there, with explainations of the work etc.....
