Recommended Compression: For short videos less than about five minutes, we recommend that you upload videos at the highest quality possible. For longer videos we recommend a data rate of 2Mbps or about 15 MB of disk space per minute of footage. If you shot your video with a DV or HDV camera and edited at native resolution, then upload a DV or HDV compressed QuickTime or AVI file, at the native resolution (e.g. 720×480 for SD or 1440×1080 for HDV). The higher quality source file you upload the better your video will look on Crackle and Crackle’s distribution network where it may appear on devices like Sony Bravia high definition TVs.
