shrinking .avi's

I am trying to upload a short digital video project to various websites and most of them require that the file be no larger than 20 MB. My video is 319 MB.

Any insight?

How did you compress is the first time around?

If you only did small compression more without loosing too much quality might be possible.

If you already compressed it to the max with good quality I guess you're out of luck. Using x264 compression might be a way though.

The .avi is a result of rendering a Sony Vegas project.

Ok I am not very familiar with Sony Vegas... But how long is the video file totally? Could be good to know so that I atleast can guess on how the compression is at the moment.

Ok then it is not compressed at all. It is only saved as an Audio Video file with no compression.

So you have two options, either find something about compression when compiling the project or use another application to compress it. Virtual Dub will do the job fine.

01:26 in time will give you a very small file with maintained high quality. Also a little tip is to use XviD as it is free and very good.

go on google and search for virtual dub, then go to www.divx.com download the divx coded, then open virtual dub, video tab, full processing mode, video tab, compression, select divx, advanced, select compression to max, ok, ok, file, save as avi, and you're off
