I had to choose 640 (VGA) because 160 (Mail) is shit and unwatchable. So I'd expect the size to be pretty big.

But isn't 28.3 mb unreasonable? The quality still isn't THAT good.

Is there any non-complicated way of compressing the size without damaging the quality much? If I were to Zip the file, how much space would that take off?

Thanks.

Yeah, mine too! My Canon Ixus 400 does huge avi files for such a small resolution.

Probably lack of compression.
Even Jpeg images are easily over 1 MB each (for 2MP even!).

Probably lack of compression.

Any way of fixing this?

You could re-encode the video into something else (like turning a .wav into a .mp3, know what I mean?).

What's that program again? The name escapes me :-\.

Convert it to DivX or XviD.. Thats what I do with the movies I shoot.

virtualdub to compress it to divx...of course you must have the codecs installed and the person you are sending must have them installed for viewing as well. plus you have to make sure to choose a compression for the audio as well, to keep the file size small.

1 hour of miniDV footage = 13GB ( at 800K pixel )

Yes! Virtualdub! This program rocks, trust me anyone can use it. Just select the video and audio codecs you wish to re-encode too, and the bitrates, and watch that file size SHRINK!

Ok, I dl'ed Virtualdub.

I've turned off audio altogether and chosen the video compressor (Intel Indeo 4.5 - any other suggestions?). Now how do I actually compress it?

 

[miyuru]

I dunno what that Intel one is, google 'nic's xvid codec' or something, and d/l that to try.

With this, you should be able to re-encode to Xvid. Just check help on how to re-encode, I'm too lazy to check how b/c it's on my other computer and I don't want to turn it on ^_^.
