    What are the kids using to compress video these days.

    Have a rather large .avi that I'd like to knock a few gig off. What are you guys using these days? I have a feeling things have progressed since the last time I did it.

          do you want to convert the existing file, or re-render it from the edited source?

                              h.264 isn't very new it's amongst others the compression method used for
                              mpeg-4 encoding.

                                              If you just want to do this one file, download windows media encoder or use windows movie maker. (both free)

                                              If you're going to make a habit of this, then there are better options depending on how much you want to spend.

                                                  ive seen DivX, Xvid (.avi) bicubic - H.264 .....become somewhat popular but the standard compression formats are wma and mpeg... no luck with matroska .MKV containers yet........

                                                  the average vid birtrate is 700-900kbs but for really cool quality you might want to go 1100kbs+

                                                      AVI is actually a container format that is not married to a particular codec. An AVI file could have a 25,000kbit/sec DV master stream, or a 128kbit/sec divx "free tour teaser" stream.

                                                          You do realise that AVI is a container format for the most or all of the codecs mentioned in this thread?

                                                          I'm not sure why you would suggest changing from AVI to another format.
