Im trying to figure out an efficient way to store home videos in my computer, I transferred almost 15 minutes of Hi8 video from my daughter into .AVI format...... its Phreaking 12 gb!!!!!!!!!...can anyone guide me into a size/quality efficient format?...I can convert them into any format with Media coder , as long I dont have to go trial and error for hours on no end ( the program have like 200 formats), I have seen movies of about 1 hour and a half, with great resolution compressed into between 420 down to 120 mb......agh...how do I do it?
I have Sony Vegas 7.0, all video obtained through a Dazzle USB device, some files about 2 minutes are a whooping 300 mb each..Help, Please?
Try using XVid codec to compress. I don't know SONY Vegas, but VirtualDub will compress using XVidcodec (you need to download both free from the 'Net).
You can also just use your Windows Movie Maker app which will also reduce the size of your imported AVI (Raw, uncompressed) or an XVid compressed AVI out of VirtualDub.
