There is an application called DVD shrink which will drop a DVD image down t whatever size you need (you will lose some quality) - there is a demo version but it might be limited.\n\nYou are not going to get a loss-less compressor for 5 - 1MB sorry.

A five minute movie with sound and basic transitions will require around 1.5 to 3 gb of space

There is three parameters which can help reduce size:\n\n1. use codec (compressor / decompressor) like DivX, XviD with higher compression\n2. resize video to lower resolution (smaller width x height)\n3. lower frame rate (not recommended)\n\nAll three actions can be achieved with VirtualDub, http://www.virtualdub.org:\n\n1. Download target codec if you do not have one and install\n2. Download VirtualDub, and unpack\n3. Open source video, select Video / Compression, adjust parameters.\n4. Optionally add Resize filter (Video / Filters) and make new video of smaller size

it don't matter what kind,it's better to have a bigger space on you flash drive.you can save video or any bigger file!

DVD Shrink will compress your movies to fit on a 4.7GB hard disk.\n\ndivx is good but you need a divx player.

You want to use one of the many zip files such as Winzip or RarZip. I'm not sure how much you can zip (compress) a video file. I just tried to Winzip a video fil on my comp that is 20,437 kb and after zipping it was only reduced to 20,230 kb.\n\nYour other choice would be to set up your own ftp site. FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is basically a very simple website. A company such as ftpworldwide will allow you to set up your own ftp site on their servers for as little as $35 - $40 a month.

If you change size, you must recompress the video. You can choose a lossless or a high-quality codec to preserve the video quality.\n\nYour only alternative would be to just use a player that scales the video on playback, but it doesn't alter the original file at all.

Yes u are right. The only way to achieve that would be to use compression. However the amount by which data can be compressed is limited by the type of data and its characteristics. For example...\n\n1. A very large text document containing a novel can be compressed to around 20~30% of its original size. This compression however has to be lossless, i.e. the file recovered after decompression should have the same size, since u dont want ur text to have unwanted errors in it.\n\n2. Audio, specifically that within the human audible limits. Depending on the algorithm (eg. MPEG layer-3 or mp3, ogg-vorbis, WMA) used audio can be compressed to almost 10% of its original size (1CD 700mb to ~60MB). But these are lossy compression techniques, as in some audio data is lost but the differences is not perceptable to humans.\n\n3. Application - Typically installation files for programs. Pure binaries(eg. EXE files) can generally be compressed to about ~40% of their size and this compression needs to be lossless otherwise ur executable could get damaged. Most compression algorithms use various kinds of techniques to detect any errors introduced into the file using techniques like CRC.\n\n4. AV - audio+video, This is probably the case ur talking about in ur question. By use of appropriate software it is possible to compress an entire DVD movie (4.7GB) to a file of 700MB size which can fit on a single CD. This again uses lossy algorithms (DivX, xvid, WMV, MPEG4 etc.) using motion estimation (seeing which parts of a movie frame change) etc. techniques. (search google for auto-Gordian-Knot if you are interested in doing this)\n\nSo if u have seen someone compress 4.7GB onto a CD he was prolly doing it with a movie file. Movies downloaded from the internet are generally available in 700MB sized file so that they can conveniently fit on a CD.\n\nHope that helped.

Select the folder in Windows Explorer. Then right-click it. One of the options will be to zip the contents into an archive.\n\nIf the files are in jpg format, you may not get much compression.

Windows Movie Maker will save a video file to a file-size you specify.  It is a free download from Microsoft's website, but you'll need XP to use it.

if you have Windows Media Player, just convert it to an MP3 file which is a compressed file.

You cannot compress a 1GB file to 700MB file.\nOnly you can cut the clip into two parts and write it into 2 CDs. Using a VCD cutter or Movie maker...

By far the easiest way for a newbie is to use Windows Movie Maker that comes with XP.  Assuming you can play the movie, you should be able to import it and save it as a wmv video file, which would play on most people's computers.  It makes it really easy to choose the size of the output file, and will automatically cram it down to that size.\n\nDon't try zipping it; it won't help.
