How can I make this AVI filesize smaller?

[Downhome]

What sort of program can I use to get that filesize on down? This is freaking insane.

 

Sincerely,

...Downhome...

there's about a million Avi compressing utilities you can find on download.com, searchign google, yahoo, etc.

 

If you don't mind switching to .wmv file type, Windows Media Encoder does teh trick and there's plenty of encoding options, so you can control the quality of the new, smaller file.

I suggest downloading a crack for it.

If I convert it to RM, how much smaller will the file be?

You can adjust the frame rate and audio quality, so the size depends on that.

I just tried to open it in Virtual Dub and wouldn't do so, giving me the error "Could not find decompressor for format DVSD".

[Guest I'm That Damn Zzzzz]

For your no codec for DVSD problem, click here.

 

To compress video, the Divx format is probably the way to go. Get the Kazaa Lite Full Codec pack and only install the following:

(you can install all of them but keeping things to a minimum will make your life easier.)

(First uninstall any other codec pack you don't need or contains older versions of the following:)

- DivX Pro [version 5.1.1] [Decoding]

- DivX Pro [version 5.1.1] [Encoding]

- Fraunhofer IIS MPEG Layer-3 ACM Codec [version 1.2.0.63]

...and anything else you know you need.

 

For Virtualdub help and settings, I'll get back to you.

for the compression, use the DivX codec

 

go to Video>Compression> and choose Divx then Configure

 

lower the encoding bitrate a bit and try compressing like that, if it's still too big try lowering it more etc
