How to reencode 1 GB+ AVI to 700 mb?

[ianskiee]

Personally I would go 700MB and 128kbps MP3, but that's because I know that that's good enough quality for me. What you need to decide is, is it good enough quality for you ? After all, you'll be watching it, not me - or anyone else here.

One of the best ways to learn is trial and error. Give it a go at different settings and see what takes your fancy. You'll know for next time then.

hi ive joined 2 xvid avi [700mb] using VirtualDob,
The result; now got a 1.3 gb xvid avi movie. and i want it to go 700mb and 128kbps Mp3, what would be my settings on the Xvid Codec?
to get a 700mb file size...

Please don't hijack topics! Start a new thread for a new issue.
Load the AVI in AutGK, set output size to 700MB.
Will it look good? Probably decent, but halving the bitrate generally means halving the quality.

oops sorry i didnt know that it was a hijack topic.

anyway, how about using the VirtualDob? can i make a 700mb xvid avi movie file?

You'd have to be an expert at configuring the codec to qualitywise beat AutoGK, IMO. I even think AutoGK uses VirtualDub.

ahh ok...

i just thought that i could also make Xvid avi like aXXo

aXXo - the name search lead me to bittorent sites and all releases I have seen there from axxo are dvd rips. So axxo has as sources DVDs and you have a xvid avi as source. Of course the better the source - the better ther output. With this xvid avi (even 1 gb in size) as source you will never, never, never get the quality which you can get using the DVD as source. It is simply not possible. GIGO.

I wouldn't have a well known video pirate as my role model, but...
Just keep an eye out for those MPAA spies in your back yard!
