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

Use NeroVision express..\nThe movie automatically gets compressed according to the requirements with almost zero quality reduction.

Right click the file. Scroll down to "send to" it will give you several options. Click Compress and that will do it.

There is no way to answer this question as most modern compression algorithms use tokenization. The extent of tokenization possible is dependent on the data being tokenized. It is POSSIBLE that a handpicked special instance of a 1GB file could be reduced to 50MB or so.\nIt is also important to know what format the movie already is in (wma,mpg,avi,rm) as if it is already compressed further techniques will have minimal effect.

find the program "DVDDecrypter" (freeware) on the net,  download it,  and use it to rip the movie to your hard drive.  once its in,  you can shrink it w/DVD Shrink.

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.

This operation (ripping and transcoding high quality files) is one of the most demanding, so it's always going to be sort of slow. One way to speed it up is to choose a relatively low quality codec (MPEG1, for example, rather than Divx or WMV).\n\nI've used Magic DVD Ripper and found it quick enough, but then again it was a fast PC with 2GB of RAM.

No such utility exists.\nAll compression must be done server side.

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

Win/Avi/Dvd converter\n\nhttp://www.winavi.com/en/products.htm\n\nBut most movies will not fit on a single disk (usually takes 2 regular cdr's), this program cuts the movie at 600megs. This is if you are using cdr's opposed to dvdr. Cdr allows you to create vcd's which are playable on all dvd players but use normal cds. \n\nYou can use nero to add a title screen and chapters too if you want.

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