Scrunching Videos

[Perry Spiller]

I know the how and what of reducing a graphic file size

for web display, but is there some analogous thing one

can do to reduce an .avi video file? A 72Mb file is too

damn big for anything but the slickest connection.

I understand that reducing a video file size will also

reduce the screen space it uses when it plays, but

no problems with that.

Although this is on a linux-type web host, I only have

windoze to use to scrunch the file and even then, just

using an old XP OS.

Looking for a place to host your web site idea?

Look no further than this company.
I use them for my web sites.

How did I get an Internet address/domain name?
I bought it from this company for $NZ27 for 3 years.

Cheap? You betcha! You can do it, too. Click on
either of the links to check for yourself.

You could try an online video editor such as http://www.videotoolbox.com/

Any one format better than another, to suit all browsers?

There isnt a format that will play across all browsers because theres no patent-free codec to use across browsers (google tried it with WebM so of course every browser EXCEPT internet explorer works with it). If you want a proper cross-browser solution, upload the video to youtube, make it private, then embed it in your web page. Youtube will take care of the necessary re-encoding
