Anyone know where I can get some software to reduce the size of a video file (.avi)

I have some vids to post on myspace, but they are too big. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Windows XP has "Windows Movie Maker" built in. It should be under Start ... Programs ... Windows Movie Maker. You can open the avi and save it as wmv compressed video.

Open-source (but complex) alternative is "VirtualDub"

Macs have iMovie that can do the same, making a Quicktime file.

virtualdub will work great for compressing the size of the avi

Pug....

Dude I love you!

Why did I not know I had that!!!

Easy!

Thanks again man!

Movie Maker to create the file, save as DV Movie (avi) and use VirtualDub to encode it to XVid or DivX if you don't like the WMV quality.
Both free and works a treat

LOL, looks like a fun holiday!

I see you passed on the chance to blow up a cow with a rocket launcher? (Or maybe they don't do that anymore!)

...and to think I was just out in Asia backpacking <lol>

Awesome, it looks like you had an 'ok' time

So, what is it about, tell me. You left me hanging at the end there

J/K looks like you had a kick arse time mate.

No thats on another video, but google keep booting it off for some reason!?!

Joke... Seriously though, when I was there (2003), that was still an 'option'. The place looked like a farm when we turned up... While loading the belt into the M60, the guy actually asked me if I would like a goat or a chicken... I told him the paper target would be fine.

Think it has all been stopped now... though there were rumours at the time that for USD$1000 you could have yourself a deathrow prisoner (which, to be honest, would fit in extremely well with the Cambodian way of thinking - "where ever I can make a buck").

They charged me $5 just to take the video, when somebody suddenly decided that was "extra"!!!:roll:

Oh and just for fun...

There are 4 audio clips in my attempt at a 'movie'.

10 Bonus points if you can place all 4:lol:
