Hi,
I've got .wmv file with 3 minutes duration. This file has ~12MB size. When I put this video to Kdenlive and render this file (with no changes eg. adding effects etc) with option to .wmv (in render window), file after rendering has ~27MB. When I do the same thing (with the same file) in vegas video, file has ~13MB.
Question: How to reduce this .wmv file size in Kdenlive to have similar file size like in vegas?
Settings of my .wmv codec:
acodec=libmp3lame ab=128k ar=44100 ac=2 vcodec=wmv1 minrate=0 vb=%bitrate+'k' aspect=%dar pass=%passes
Video bitrate from menu: 1000k

Yes, I know about bitrate. But even 400k making .wmv file larger than in vegas.
For example:
Video 1 minute, 320x240, video bitrate (wmv1): 1000k, audio bitrate (mp3): 128k, 1 pass = file has ~9MB (.wmv)
The same settings in vegas = file has ~4MB
