So I've got a TV tuner card, which I use to put stuff from my VCR onto the PC. My question is how do I make the video files smaller?

A 50 second video is 30 frigen MB, and thats at the lowest quality setting. I've used an MPEG (which is what the Tuner software puts it in) to AVI converter, but its still too big (around 10 meg). Bare in mind that these are only small portions of what I want to upload. The full thing is around 20-30 minutes, which would be a few hundred meg.

There are a few things I want to upload on the net, and being on dial-up I need the file to be as small as possible.

There are videos that I've downloaded that are about 20 minutes and only 30 meg. How do they make it so small?

The tuner software is LifeView DTV.

And be aware that there is no copywrite or legal infringment going on, unless someone else copywrited my personal home videos :P
 
if you have dial up. you must be really patient to download a 30mb file and probably even more :)

well, when you say lowest quality setting.. are you reducing every single option? like sound quality, movie quality, screen size quality, etc..?

try .wmv

i believe movie maker can do it.. not sure..

post back with the settings you set it on if possible

oh and dont double post

Yep. I've put every setting below that of a similar file that is only 30mb.

And as for double post, that was the sites fault. First post came up with an error message, so I went back and did it again.
