I need a good video compression which will compress my 400mb video to 50mb =O

*EDIT*

Its for my project, see if i can get it down to 50MB for web purposes.

lol ... and you want to see afterwards?

Why u need the file in a size of nearly 1/10 like the original?

But what codec got this vid atm? How much fps? Even fps are not that important to compress.

i tried an sample using xvid codec in vdub
got the file size from 990mb to 50.1mb however the quality pixelated ie shit!
i was wondering if i could tweak it so its less pixelated?

vdub with xvid cant compress videos in average quality, especially not from 900MB to 50MB. ;)

Just try to make a mkv or mp4 file by using meGUI. This programm got templates for all most used formats and codecs.

i wont do it ... for every compression u could loose quality
compress it at once...

i would advise you to use 3 passes in meGUI to hold up the quality as much as you can

400 to 50 should be quite easy, just use x264 or xvid codec in vdub and test the bitrates and you should get a nice quality/size ratio.

only really need to properly compress full projects properly imo ;) clips I still use vdub.
