I have 3, 4 GIG avi's. How do I shrink them down to 700MB?

[FreshPrince]

What should I use to compress these videos, but keep the quality?

I would recommend DiVx, but it will cost you in order to obtain the rights to author to DiVx.

There is a free version of DivX as well, alternatively, you could use XviD, which is also free.

Check out www.doom9.org

There is a free version that lets you author to DiVx? I dabbled very lightly in Premier Pro a little a few months ago, and I never saw anything with DiVx that was free. I'm no pro at this stuff, so I probably shouldn't have even replied to this thread . I may check out that site as well.

IIRC, the free version puts the Divx logo in the bottom corner of the video, so basically there's no free version if you want to author videos.

So just use XviD then.

Xvid became awesome when it hit version 1 anyways. Use it, love it. Or you could always try the new version of 3ivx but I'm not sure if there is a cost involved in encoding with it.

 

[FreshPrince]

can someone walk me through the steps?

I visited doom9.org but it wasn't clear which software to download to use with xvid

 

[skace]

xvidcore-1.0.2.zip

and a piece of software that will recompile video files.

Adobe Premier

or

VirtualDub

(I like virtualdub)

I serioulsy doubt he's going to get 4 Gigs of AVIs down to 700MB.

Yeah i wouldn't plan on getting 4gigs down to 700mb. Use virtual dub. heres a guide from Doom9

perhaps spanning a few 700MB is ok... perhaps he just wants it to fit on a CDR because perhaps he only has a CD burner... *shrug*

Your not going to get it down that much without losing quality. Look for auto gordion knot. It is a compilation of programs that is in one package. Super simple. I prefer xvid but i am having difficulty finding standalone dvd players for it.
