ok i just found out that wmv is about 10x less then avi so forget what i wrote up there any body know where i can find a converter that let me convert avi into wmv?

[SiRius128]

look up "avi to wmv" in google and see what u find there i found one but its not free..(Easy Video Converter 3.0)...try d/l'ing it off K-lite.

here this web site has a good list of converters--
Converters (http://www.imagespro.com/search.php3?q=converter+avi+to+wmv)

p.s. thank you sirius 128 for the link.

no prblem kazaaliterock

now when u say compress a video do u mean to compress it in a way so that when its compressed you can still watch it or do u mean compress it
to store (like a .zip)

[kazaaliterock]

i mean compress it so i can still watch it.

I don't suggest compressing an avi. If you wish to use your DVD player, then convert it to a mpg and make a VCD, nero works well.

[kazaaliterock]

i know how to make it to a mpg what i want to know is how to compress the video file so the sze is smaller so i can save some hdd space.

[RealitY]

Can't unless you want to loose qulity. If it could be done all avi files would be 100k.

quess i'll just .rar it. i can extract the one i want to watch then .rar it again.

[kazaaliterock]
