mpeg- compress

[nirbhayn]

how do i compress mpeg to any other format
without loosing some quality

[BJ_M]

you will always lose quality if you compress yet again a compressed lossy format ...

"any other format" is rather open ended

[banjazzer]

You cannot compress, but you can re-encode to another format. DivX will produce a file one third to one half the size.

well - yes he can compress (more) to SOME other formats - though as you say, re-encode would be a better term to describe.

Correct. 8)

any other format

How about a Zip file then, or a RAR that should bring it down a bit

Other than that, re-compress to DivX using Vdub
Mpeg 1, AVI > In , DivX AVI out

Install the Nimo Codec pack, then you will have a big list of codec's to choose from, also install Divx 5.02 (Kazaa) then you can also try that.

Video > Compression > Codec > settings
Audio > Compression> Codec > Settings
SAVE AVI

Quality, crap in crap out
