I want to re-encode a AVI, MP4 or MKV

[Balema]

to a smaller size AVI, MP4 or MKV. Which programms and settings shouls I use? What system do I need so it will be able to do it? I am newbie so any help appreciated!

These files are BRRips...

Vidcoder, add video, click settings, under the video tab set the target size file size. Encode.

You can also use handbrake, tencoder, freemake video converter...but you might not be able to set the desired output file size but then adjust the bitrate, bitrate * running time = file size.

But BRRips...I hope you have ripped them yourself. .

Thank you for your answer, I have Windows 64-bit, should I download the 64-bit version of Vidcoder?

Yep.

So I started and I can't understand from where I can change at VidCoder the chroma_qp_offset?

Should I change lookahead_threads from 1 to 2? I have i7 950 @ 3.06.
