How do i reduce a 500 MB MPG file to less than 100 MB?

There are a number of things you can do to reduce the file size, you can reduce the size of the video (e.g. from 640x480 to 320x240), you can lower the video bit rate, and/or you can lower the audio bitrate (and compress it to mp3 or some such if it's uncompressed wav file).\n\nIf video quality is what's important, I'd keep the same resolution and lower the bitrate some, and decrease the audio bit rate (to say 96kbps). While lowering the bitrate some will cause problems for some of the scenes with greater motion, but will in general have less effect on the video quality than reducing the resolution.\n\nIf you just want the video to be smaller, you can experiment with a combination of the three to find what makes you happiest. Codecs to consider are xvid, divx (6 is supposed to be nice), h.264...

You can always make the files smaller by using WinZip or my personal favorite PKzip. if you have a slow connection try taking a look at your modem properties and see if you can increase the bitrate being recieved and sent out. well hopefully you get your files to work good luck.

I would try winzip or winrar compression utilities. I am not sure how small it will be able to make it.

Convert it to a mpg file or a DVD\nVideo editors like Ulead or Pinnacle's Studio 9 do an excellent job for that.

Certain file types that don't have proper program handlers will be downloaded on a click, rather than played in the appropriate program.\n\nTo fix that, right-click on an MPG file you do have and choose Properties\n\nWhere it says "Open With", click on the Change... button.\n\nSelect the program you want to have open the file and click OK.\n\nClick OK again to close all dialog boxes.

There's a brilliant program called Ccleaner. I use it so it must be idiot proof.\nwww.ccleaner.com\nDefragment the hard drive, go to Start - Accessories - System Tools - Defragment.\nAlso, try storing big files like images on a separate partition, or preferably a separate drive such as an external hard drive. Pc's do slow down as you start to use them and I think to an extent its unavoidable.

DbPoweramp is an excellent software in this regard. It enables u to change the bit rate of the file u want to convert thus reducing the file size if you select a lower bit rate (eg. from 128 to 64 kbps), expect lower quality though. Or you could convert from mp3 to wma format which would give you the same bit rate, same quality but smaller file size.

yea you could try to zip the file or just put it on a zip disk floppys are really small

Yes, make sure your pictures are 100kb or less. If they are huge files (like over a MB or 2) Then you need to make them smaller.

Drive less. Get a tune up, in general use less gas.

yup - look for a fil splitting utlitity online, and this wil spereate the files inot several smalller files at 1.44 mg each, then copy these to your computer, then use the filesplitter to recompile the software.  Winzip has the facility,

first off 3 gb is a bit on the small side so you could move the files to a second hard drive. \ncompressing files is an option. another is removing some programs.

just lower the uploading bandwith to 0 or 1kb or have the program move the finished downloads into a different folder.

try freeware it all free down loads

I've used AtSpace, which is pretty good, but they have a limit on files to be no more than 200k.

You could try running turbo.exe to slow down your system memory, that should have a knock-on effect on wmv files. Type 'Turbo.exe' into a decent search engine and you should get this program to download.
