How can I compress a video?

Are there any tutorials out there? What program would I use?

I would suggest using a program called VirtualDub or "VDub" for short. It compresses files from Fraps and really anything else into multiple compression types. IE: DivX 6.

check out what video format has best compression and see if you can convert it to that. othwerise, .rar it or somethign.

That just takes more time.

With VirtualDub, I got a 2gig video file from Fraps and compressed it to 200meg with DivX 6 compression. So that should be your best bet.

Yeah, i don't compress videos really ever, but I remember hearing that a lot of them don't compress that well, divx would be a good bet though.

If you're wondering Coco, here's the download link to VirtualDub.
