Default Resizing AVI files

Hi There,

i was wondering how i might be able to resize a 700MB video file down to 350MB.

reason being is that i downloaded the 700MB rip of top gear off a torrent as i love top gear and wanted it ASAP as VUKs rip wasnt comming out for another few days but i like to have my top gear videos all the same at 350MB and to also save on space so i was wondering is it possible to convert a 700MB rip down to a 350BM rip.

Thanks.

Get VirtualDub and recompress it. Check doom9.org for more advice... Or use AutoGK...

you will need software that can encode video to a chosen codec.
Easy one for people is AVS video converter.
*Select the file, choose the codec and click configure.
*Select xvid and resize to 512x288
*Set single pass at (profile advanced simple @ L3) or 750kps and you should get close to the 350mb size.

you will need the codec installed aswell to enable encoding in xvid.

If you need more assistance let me know and i'll post some screen shots of these steps.

AutoGK is a good program, but its a front-end, it runs off things like VirtualDub to do the encoding part.

Use AutoGK as it handles everything for you, and is easy to understand.

or just download the 425MB rip when it comes out. images/smilies/smile.gif

Same process with virtual dub mod.
* select video
Compress
*choose the codec and click configure.

*Set single pass at (profile advanced simple @ L3) or 750kps and you should get close to the 350mb size.

Resize will help final file size
*Video
*filters
*resize 512x288 Biliner
