I recorded a .wav of a song parody that I wrote about a product my boss sells. It's a little donut called 'Babycakes' I used Mimic to bring it to life. By saving the .avi with 'Indeo' compression and then 'Binking' it.. I was able to get the 307 frame movie down to about 1.1Mb. The wav alone was 2Mb. The best thing about Mimic is that it's so much fun! (my voice isn't quite that squeaky. I used 'CoolEdit' to raise the pitch)

I have a Flash version that I put up for the Mac users Babycakes The quality is inferior to the 'Binked' version and it's about 50% larger ( 1.5Mb )

You can download 'Bink' for free from the company that flashes the URL at the end of the babycakes.exe movie All you do is open Bink, find an .avi or .mov file and click the Bink button. There will be a lot of 'options' .. but the only thing you need to enter is where it says the 'percentage' of compression that you'd like to use. I used 20% for Babycakes. So it turned the .avi from over 5Mb to about 1Mb
