Divx - Re-encoding To Make Smaller

[deepmenace]

hi,
have got a load of 700mb avi's at wastefully high resolutions. Need to drop them to 320x240 and maybe lose some quality to get it down nice and low.

Any easy windows progs to do this?

Use VirtualDub (www.virtualdub.com). It's free and there's much documentation for it.

http://divx.ppccool.com/ <-- Get that, they do not crash either. Use a PDA for the base setup

Yep, I used this one too. Great re-encoder, very fast too.

Could someone post up the settings they use please to make a good quality low size vid using the above programme.

Cheers

EDIT i tried my forst encode using this programme and the output file was shown on my desktop.....but when i go to either right click it or move it or play it my windows XP gives me an error and explorer resets itself. weird.

I find the default for PDA is very economical.

Sorted my problem....it seems the codec pack i had installed ( some kazza lite crap) was causing the problem.

Anyone advise me on a decent codec pack to install please?
