I have some AVI's that are around 200MB. I need to compress these, but without losing an insane ammount of quality. I have tried a few ways to export but this is the best I got.

Can someone help me out please!

Yeah, but a lot of people hate mpg. So I wanted to stick to WMV or AVI.

WMV you say?

So, you just wan't to know what settings to use, when rendering??
What prog. do you use?

2MB WMV is fine, actually more than enough. Anywhere around 1MB-2MB is great.
Depends on the length too.

Best quality for smallest file is DIVX.

Best quality with streaming and most people can play it is WMV.

If you want to save your vids as wmv and be able to change around the settings I recomend Windows Media Encoder.

Here's a link to it: http://www.soft32.com/download_980.html

DOWNLOAD VIRTUAL DUB

Unzip it.
Run it (no install needed)
File > Import AVI, select the video to compress.
Video > Compression > DIVX 6 > Configure - Now I like to use 4000kb/s bit rate, but you can decide yourself.
Audio > Full Processing Mode
File > Save as AVI

DONE.

It took it from 200MB to 30MB. And the quality is pretty good. Just uploaded to myspace, waiting for approval. You can check it out to look at the quality. Really fast working program too. Will probably use more.

Thanks Craig

Check this out for our vids. Will post when the new vid is approved.

Mike, when I said a "2MB WMV" I meant 2MB as in the video data rate, like; 512kbps, 2MB. You get me?

Anyways, glad you've got it sorted Image file not present in the recovered backup

Your nail through the hand clip was a bit misleading.

No, that made all these lines on the clip and everything. I need sorenson squeeze. That is the best compressor I've ever seen.

And wilbur. It's Matt....not jesus. lol
