Posted by Xblah What the hell? My movie that had about 8 seconds is 1GB? What can I do to make it smaller? Put your game's settings (resolution, etc.) lower before using the startmovie command. Of course your video doesn't look so cool after that but.. I can't figure out betterway. Oh, except if you mean the final version (after you have done the avi conversion), I think you need to convert the image files again (of course this requires that you still have the images) and in the Virtual Dub, goto Video --> Compression.. --> and select the compressor you want to use.. I don't what's the best, sorry :D use some compression method.. I used Windows Media Encoder
