How do I Compress/endcode video?

[Khajit]

I saved my kamakama fight on fraps and my first dynamis fight but theyre taking up over 11 gigs so i need to figure out how to since I can't seem to on my own.

Also Where can i post the vids online cause the kama fight was funny.

Open the fraps captured films into a video editor and save it through that. That will compress it down, usually takes a little while so you'll have to be patient though

It's feels like a ten minute wait on a two minute clip sometimes.

Patience is indeed the key. h34r:

Can ya name any video editors i can download? Window movie maker seems to have exactly zero options to compress em.
Downloading vdub atm

Like eulore said VDub is a good program however it only works for .avi movies. It might be kinda hard to find a free video compressor.

I'm haivng troujble properly compressing with vdub. any hints?
I'm being kinda cautious because i dont wanna accidentally delete the fight.

I mostly use tmpgenc (also free), but if you're using Vdub this is pretty much all you should have to do:

Select File->Open and choose the AVI you want to compress.
Select Video->Compression and choose the codec (probably divx, but make sure it's a codec you have)
Select File->Save As AVI and specify a filename for the new AVI

As long as you dont use the same filename theres no chance of anything happening to your original file. Windows movie maker should also work. Also, it's not free but if you bought Nero you may already have Nero Vision Express.

How about a program where I can convert any video to MPEG2? I want to burn some cds that can play on a dvd player.
