Help: How convert camera's bloated Motion Jpegs to MPEG-1?

[janice smith]

Is there any free software which will do a reasonable job of
compressing my bloated AVIs to MPEG-1?

They are from my little Casio Exelim still camera. It records
movie clips as AVIs containing "Motion JPEG" but these AVIs are
huge. A 100MB file plays for only 2 minutes!

I haven't tried this before, can you suggest some good settings
for a start with the software?

My Motion JPEGs are 640x480 at 30 frames/sec. I thought to go
MPEG-1 but any movie format is ok if it plays easily on most
equipment.

VirtualDub is good for this sort of conversion.

You can use Image Ready (adobe) to make animations (frames are made from
your photos, drawings),
VirtualDub is a great tool as Bob said,
personally I use VirtualDub for video without sound,
prepare the sound with CDex (eg mp3 format) and add the soundtrack to video
with NanDub.

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember janice smith <sm...@mail.com>
saying something like:

SUPER does it for free. It's one of the best all rounders.

Not just that, but lots more besides.
