Video Compression

Recommended Posts

I'm looking for a video compressor that can make my 706mb file down so it can fit on a CD.

 

Any ideas on how to do this as it is doing me nut in.

I use Total Video Converter. It's quite ugly, but it supports many different formats and works regardless, along with being simple to use. I know very little about how best to use the settings though. I usually keep it to Xvid or DivX Avi and estimate about what I need. But you shouldn't need to shave much off that file.

You can't really "compress" video much without lowering the quality. MPEG, etc is a form of compression already. Is that what you are seeking to do?

Pretty much, I just want to get it onto a CD. I'd put it on a DVD but my PC doesn't have a DVD writer drive. My laptop does, but that means I need to transfer the film to my laptop.

 

I'd use a flash stick but I've only got a 256 one atm.

I'm really considering getting one, but while I'm unemployed it's sort of on the back burner. I need to pay rent really.
