I made a home movie, and used iMovie on a mac without dvd burner to edit it. I wanted to pass it to a DVD, so I just passed the video from iMovie to the camera, and from the camera to mi PC with Adobe Premiere. I burned the dvd nicely, extremely good quality, but I want to make an avi file to share over the internet.
It all sums up that I have an avi file, extreme uncompressed quality that plays fine on Windows Media Player, but it takes 4.4GB and its only 21 minutes long. I have searched for DivX, but it seems that the DivX converter is not free. Is there any way I can compress this video to DivX or XviD with free software? Thanks a lot.

So in virtualdub, I just File->Open the video and set up the codec, then File->Save as AVI?
Thanks.

Yes,
video/compression (choose divx and set your required bitrate)
You could also choose video/fast recompress, but it's not important.
File / save as avi

Ok I compressed the video, everything turned out well. But... how do I compress the audio??? The audio bitrate is still insanely high, and for some reason I can't select the audio compression codec in virtual dub.
Thanks.

Are you looking for mp3 audio?
You didn't really say. If so, the best bet is LAME ACM, which once
installed, can be selected in virtualdub.
Choose audio/full processing
audio/conversion (only if you need to)
audio/lame mp3 (choose your settings)

Thank you very much, I already have LAME installed, the only problem was that I didn't select audio/full processing.
I'll let you know how it turns out. Thank you very much!!!!
