Whats the best way to decompress video (to make smaller file size) to put on the net. Some info would be extremely helpful. Well uploading them I assume is pretty easy. Any help especially with the compression question would be greatly appreciated?
Thanks

if you have a mac, try and download a final cut pro 4 program called compressor, then you can change it to mpeg4 files, wav, or quicktime

Making a file smaller is compression, not decompression.

If you're using XP, get Windows Movie Maker 2 - it leats you compress to WMV files have a pretty good quality/size ratio. Just set the bitrate or file size - very easy.

if you have PC use Dr.Divx also read about compressing from www.afterdawn.com you should learn how to use different bitrates, de-interlace etc. that you can get the best quality.

Get a program that's called Cleaner (I think it's up to version 5 or 6) made by discreet. It's what all (and I mean all) effects and animation studios use as a compression tool. It has every codec available included with it or available to download for it. You can probably find it on Kazaa. My copy is bootleg, but it's for Mac. Works like a charm.

buy quicktime, or you can get divx. don't waste 1000$ on final cut pro just to make videos websized.

I already have final cut express which is the same as final cut pro but without as much sound manipulation. I'll look into the cleaner program. Thanks
