compressing/coding movies?

[Jpeg[LOD]]

Ello. finnaly got new system. and i downloaded fraps and i already got windows movie maker.

i had a play around making some crappy clips and messed about editing em (can do that reasonably well enough).


now what i would like to know is what/how do i compress and choose codec for it? i aint to good on tech stuff so help here would be great. because obviously id like to make a movie that aint to large to d/l and is watchable by most/ALL people.

so anybody know what codecs etc to use and where to get them from ? also how to compress em to smaller files?

I asked the same question in the FPS area and got directed here:
http://www.virtualdub.com/download

It did what I wanted it to do tbh, compressed a video from like 1GB to 40MB.

heres my post in the FPS area, it has some instructions for using virtual dub:

When you open a video with virtual dub, go to Video->Compression, then you can select which codec you want to use (I went for DivX).


good luck with your video

dont forget if your using .wav files in the movie to comrpess them to ac3/mp3/ogg as well else youl get strangely bloated files
