making files smaller
5 Answers
I've created an avi file using the capture feature on my web cam. Its only 3 mins long but takes up nearly 250 MB. I want to put it on YouTube and it needs compressing. Zipping it only saves about 30 meg. Can I convert it to a less memory hungry file type?

This won't however convert it to Divx or xvid but will offer a range of compression options.. You'll have to download either Divx or Xvid to convert them to one of their formats

I can recommend Super for converting video files:

It lets you change the resolution, so lower it to something easier to manage and the size should drop (remember that the YouTube player only has a small size anyway).
