I have a JVC GR-DVL157 (not that you need to know that) and I captured 25mins of footage from it on to my PC at 30fps @ 720x576 using MS moviemaker (I have Ulead Video Studio, but it turns jumpy after 10 mins or so). The file has come out 5.7GB and I need to put it on CD for m8s. VirtualDub was going to be what I was going to use to compress it, but I get the message 'no decommpressor for DVSD (Unknown)' I take it i need a codec or summin, but it there freeware I can download to capture it into a format with a smaller size (700MBish).
I know the resolution is v. high, but the next one down is 3**x*** and I need it a lot better quality. Please help
