Converting Large Divx To Smaller Divx

[Ummonus]

I've downloaded some DivX movies of Sex and the City, some are large 350+MB files, some are around 160MB, and I even have one at 80MB. I'd like to convert them all down to the size of the smallest, since I can't see any difference between them. What software can convert DivX from large to small? What do I need to change to make it smaller?

THANKS

I left out one detail - I need to keep it in a format that I can convert to VCD. Can you convert it back to MPG for VCD usage?

Wow, you are looking at a lot of space!

A 719mb DIVX can equal up to 2.5Gb (and even more) in the VCD (or mpeg-1) format.

I had a 2 hour divx that equaled 4 GB in the VCD format.
