[CoKe11]

wats the fastest and easiest way to compress them? i have a 12 mb file and i want to make it around 5 or 6 mb. any help would be much appreciated.

Virtual Dub. Load the video, select the compression codec, configure it and save under a different file name.

ya i've been trying that for awhile can u give me a good combination so i can keep the quality pretty good. like wat exactly do i change to make it a lower size? i've also tried avi compressor and that was a big waste of time it just made the same file come out but it was like 20 mb higher.

Try Dr.Divx. It's a lot easier to use than VDub and you can specify the filesize. It's nothing qualitywise compared to VDub though.

DivX 5.0
