MPG file too big for web

[mtdewguy]

I really would appreciate any help here I have spent several hours on this.

I started with a cd given to me of a tv commercial a company I do web work for wanted on the web. This is what was on the cd (two folders):

Folder 1: VIDEO_RM

sonata, 288 kb, IFO File
sonata_debug, 1,024 kb, IFO File
video_rm, 1,024 kb, DAT File
video_rm, 32 kb, IFO File
video_rm.bup, 32 kb, BUP File


Folder 2: VIDEO_TS

video_ts, 12 kb, IFO File
video_ts.bup, 12 kb, BUP File
video_ts.vob, 160 kb, VOB File
vts_01_0.bup, 16kb, BUP File
vts_01_1.vob, 19,840 kb, VOB file
vts_01_2.vob, 19,840 kb, VOB file
vts_01_3.vob, 19,840 kb, VOB file
vts_01_4.vob, 19,840 kb, VOB file
vts_01_5.vob, 19,840 kb, VOB file

Someone told me to use Sony Vegas Studio to get this in realmedia format. So I downloaded and was able to get it into an MPG format, no idea how I did it, but it is now 45 meg!! Way too big for the web.

I just downloaded Blaze Media Pro and tried to compress the file with no success.

Can someone please tell me how to get this 30 second video now in MPG format into a size decent for the web ?

Seems like Flash is a more popular/supported method of streaming these days.

thanks. i downloaded that and tried it and it told me i had to download the encoder which I downloaded and it doesn't appear to like the mpg format. I'm going crazy here with 4 different programs.....

Use VOB2MPG on the VIDEO_TS folder to get an MPEG-2 file you can then convert to something else if need be.

As for converting to flash, a full version of Turbine Video Encoder was included with my latest APCMag (Australian Computer Magazine).


EDIT:
I had provided a link to this software, but unfortunately Baldrick had to remove it.

Here's a link to their free version:
