how to compress?

[jojjp]

I've just finish editing a sampler in Adobe premiere pro 2 and i can't find a way to a good compression. I'm using a dv-camera so i would like to hade pretty good quality on the exported film. I've heard there are program just for compressing, I don't know any names though, any tips?
how do you all compress? resolution, codec and so on :)

auto gordian knot

google it, then download it.

works very very very well.

also virtualdub, though installing the mp3 codec for encoding is somewhat bothersome due to its illegality. but virtualdub does well with avi's.

bah. if u want simple. just throw it into windows movie maker, select the output at 768kbs and it'll be just fine for internet release

haha mikey i use that for uber low quality vids.

If you've got vegas, render it using the xvid codec on either "best" or "good" quality, that gets the file size down. For a 2min vid its usually under 100mb...ish.

i try to have a super full quality version, then AGK it, then make a vegas rendered xvid version.

HQ = 400mb
Xvid = 40
LQ = 10

How to some people have really high quality quicktime files where the video screen is quite small. Anyone know?
