Hi

How do i down size a video shot from a camera of say 3mb size down to say 100kb.
Can it be done without expensive software?

Cheers

Yes if you have Windows XP allegedly. Not tried it myself and the system I'm on doesn't have it, but I have seen it on my own laptop. HTH.

It'll probably not look all that good with that amount of compression unless you want to make it smaller too. If it's a one off, you could e-mail me the file and I can do it for you (also depends what format the file's in). I use Linux and the software's free Just checked, it works under windows too but it might take a bit of getting used to if it's the same as in Linux: http://www.mplayerhq.hu/

It can't be done full stop Banger.

Not without losing so much quality, colours and making it so small that it wouldn't be worth doing.....100kb would be little more than a good animated gif.

You can shrink a good quality video clip down a fair bit, but not to that extent

What about say Avatar size at 80X80 or bigger without loosing to much.

If it's actually an avatar you're trying to produce it makes it easier.....you can take out many frames of the clip so that although it looks less smooth, and you can lower the colours from 16million that you get in full video down to 128 or 64, and it'll do as an avatar.
