I have a 350 MB AVI file that I need to compress to 300 MB.  Any ideas?

why would you want to compress it from 350 to 300 ???  ..  for starters...  you wont be able to compress it using ZIP/RAR/7zip or any other compression method....  and btw.. ISO and BIN are not compressed... they are images only... they dont shrink or compress...     only thing you could try is to convert it to mp4 which might compress it a little more but im not sure since i've never tried it and mp4 is fairly new...     sounds like you might want to compress it to fit on a CDR or DVDR along with other stuff .. if so... then you might have to get rid of some of the other stuff....

I use PocketDivxEncoder. It can take a 700MB movie down to less than 200MB. I then use BS Player or PocketMVP to play the AVI file on my PPC

You could still use Picasa2 and convert the AVI to MPG. I think...WinAVI is good for converting, but not free....\n\nI found one that may help, it's called Imagen, but it looks like it's a computer only thing, you can take a look...\n\nDownload.com has some, but they may not work for your dilemma.\n\nPS: I found SUPER Fever Link before and it didn't work, so don't take that one seriously.\n\nSee all links below.

I would try winzip or winrar compression utilities. I am not sure how small it will be able to make it.

download Total Video Converter at download.com. You will be able to convert it to whatever kind of file you want. WARNING: it is only a trial version\n\nAND IT WORKS GREAT!

You have ZIP files, RAR files, and many other compression types.\n\nRAR is considered better.

u can look converter programs at http://www.download.com/Audio-Video/2001-2025_4-0.html?tag=dir\n\nbut its usual that 100-200 mb file to 2-3 gb because \n.avi  requires more harddisk space.

My suggestion is to compress your video and save it onto the dvd as a video file, rather than as a dvd-player compatable disc.\nDownload something like this, but not specificly this one.\nhttp://www.flydragonsoft.com/avi-compressor.htm\nYou should be able to take a 3 hour video to < 2 gigs.\n\nAnother method you can choose to do is buy a dual layer disc and hope that your video is small enough to fit on one of those.

You cannot compress a 1GB file to 700MB file.\nOnly you can cut the clip into two parts and write it into 2 CDs. Using a VCD cutter or Movie maker...

You are probably missing the correct codec - decompression software.  Try the link below.

You could recompress it with a different codec and/or data rate.  VirtualDub is good , free, and easy to use.\n\nhttp://www.virtualdub.org/

Use WinZip, it will compress it for you.

One set of procedures (other posters may/probably will suggest alternative methods) would be:\n\n1) Use "TMPGEnc" to convert the .AVI (DivX-compressed or otherwise) to compliant MPEG2-for-DVD format - Use "TMPGEnc's" DVD wizard/template to accomplish this \n\n2) Use "TMPGEnc DVD Author" (a different program than "TMPGEnc") to easily create the required additional DVD files and structure (and chapters and a menu, if you wish)\n\n\n**If the combined filesize of the DVD "package" written to your hard drive is greater than 4.37Gb, use DVD Shrink (or similar) to compress\n\n\nIf your O/S is either Win2000 or WinXP, TMPGEnc DVD Author can also burn your DVD. Otherwise, use NERO to burn in "DVD-Video" mode \n(As an alternative to "TMPGEnc DVD Author", you could use "DVDLab")

there are a lot of compressing tools available in the internet. winzip, winrar, winace, etc all can compress files effectively.

First compress it into a wmv file, then compress it ever further by zipping it. http://www.winzip.com
