Making mpeg files smaller?

[nightsurfing]

Hello,

I have been submitting galleries for quite some time but am rather new to movie galleries.

I currently use Avi and Mpeg Splitter from Boilsoft to split my movies and it works great, but if I split the file into 1mb chunks my movie clips are only about 5 seconds long.

I currently use 2 - 2.5 mb clips but these are quite large and really eat up the bandwidth. Does anyone know what software I could use to "crunch" the files? If this is possible?

Thanks, your help is greatly appreciated!!

Did you try with nandub? You can choose the compresion of the files.

I tried usung nandub but program kept crashing on me, even after I added the codecs it suggested.

I have been searching all morning and I found TMPGEnc will do this, but my I also found VideoCharge which seems to do this very well.

Thanks for the help!!!

Any other suggestions for me??

Have you tried converting to DivX? It's smaller but requires the user to have a codec to view the video.
