Video Compressor

[Alex*]

Can anyone give me links to free video file compressors because i have just made a motion graphic reel but its .mov and about a gig for some reason but has anyone got any links

[Laura Lynne]

what did you make it in?

[Alex*]

i made it in after effects and it takes ages to render so the files could be 5 seconds but be over 100 mb in size

there should be a bit of free software out there that will shrink in down

[Russlock]

i use a couple of products from these, to compress dvd to any size, i.e web,phone, my new archos 504

try this

[Russlock]

also this is a free bit of kit that may be of use.

Pocket divx encoder


turns it into a small avi file

thanks for the link russlock its great it reduced the size to 634kb but still good quality and same length speed good find

that's a pretty impressive compression

i compress a full 8gig ish movie with dvd shrink, then use that program to drop it to less than 1gb ready for my archos.

still full quality, and i have already paid full price for my movies, so i have no problems in copying it for myself.

remember the pirate thread toon, i am "guybrush threepwood, mighty pirate"
