Hey Everyone I am starting some motion projects but all my AVI movies seem to be really large. I have movies I downloaded(real movies) That are an hour long that are less meg than a 28 second Poser AVI. How do I reduce this??????????. Please help I can't get going at this rate my project will be about 3 gig of memory by the time I'm done. Can I convert or is there another way to export them from poser. Eldorobo Eldoroboo@aol.com

Id suggest saying them as a pict file stack, then using Moover to create the film. Adjust the compression as needed, and youll find the file size drops pretty quick.

You might want to look at the DivX Codec on the DivX Web site. It will reduce the size of the AVI file. The draw back is that anyone wanting to watch the AVI file has to download the DivX codec.

Sounds like your AVIs are uncompressed. Coincedently, Online last nigh,t I walked my brother through compressing a 428MB uncompressed AVI into an 877K MOV with NO quality loss. I use Quicktime Pro and the ON2 codec, but as I understand it, Poser (on a PC)only allows AVIs. QT Pro will compress into numerous formats including AVI, I think it costs 30 bucks or so. Checkout Discreet's EZCleaner. I do belive it's FREE. Link attached.

Ya know what... I was just at the CleanerEZ website and there doesn't appear to be a download link. It USED to be free when Terran owned it. Damn those money grubbers at discreet! Mayhaps I could send you the free Terran (previous)version of CleanerEZ I think I still have kicking around on my expansive harddrives. Let me know if you're interested and how you'd like me to send it to you.

I use the free download from Microsoft to convert AVI to ASF or WMA.. these can be really small! Search for Windows Media Encoder.

Microsoft's Windows Media Encoder is great, but who wants to enter commands from the DOS prompt?

Daniel Smith has an unofficial GUI front-end for the encoder. Find it here.

For converting AVI to MPEG (or editing MPEG videos), I highly recommend TMPG Encoder. Lots of features.
