Compressing a huge .avi file?

[Nitro 64]

I have completed my video and have converted it to .avi formet with the help of Mupen64. But the size is slightly... Huge. a whopping 494Mb for a 14 minute video.

My Request is... I need a compressor (Freeware) With very little (Or no) Limitations, many i have tried only convert 70% of the imput or they have a huge "TRAIL VERSION" Written over the screen.

Any Ideas Guys??

Thanks..

just use the xvid codec (video) / lame mp3 (audio) in Virtualdub. both codec can be downloaded for free... (doom9.org)

I've had good times with ffdshow + VirtualDub combo, when you let ffdshow handle all the compression settings.

its too bad pj64 cant do that

Video is already compressed by mupen64 (if you have chosen the correct codec: i'd suggest xvid for example or another mpeg4 codec). I had problems compressing sound so it's not compressed by mupen64 and i'd suggest compressing it with the LameMP3.

You can compress sound using VirtualDub : set the video to "direct stream copy" mode and set the audio to "full processing mode" + choose the audio compression codec.

If you have a good enough system, I recommend RealAnime - and easy tool to compress with the latest technology (though the default presents were chosen for anime in mind).

"compressor (Freeware) With very little (Or no) Limitations"

7zip?

7zip?

No, a codec is needed. Video compression technology. No zip can compress a video as good as a video compressor.

Even a lossless video compression codec will give better compression than a generic algorithm like 7zip.

EDIT: Just to avoid confusion - I'm referring to an uncompressed source.

7zip Compressing a video that was encoded with "microsoft video encoder 1" can lead to staggering results. I took a 20MB clip to under 1MB (Compressed a file recorded with CamStudio, a desktop recording program) Better codecs, like xvid, do not recompress so well with 7zip.
