You have to reencode it at half the bitrate used in its current incarnation. This will reduce quality dramatically, if it's not encoded at a very high bitrate as it is. By reducing the resolution (# of pixels to be exact) to half, you will keep quality but of course get a "smaller" video.

Use TMPGEnc to reencode and resize. There are no specific guides on reencoding AFAIK, but read the VCD guides and I'm sure you'll understand the principles involved.

If that file is a Mpeg 1/Mpeg 4 load it into Vdub

video > full processing mode
video > compression > codec > divx low motion > bitrate > 400
Audio > full pressing mode
audio > compression > codec > MP3 > Bitrate > 128 > frq same

SAVE AVI
you have now converted the mpeg 1/4 to a mpeg 4 DivX AVI
