the only way to really reduce their  size it to re-encode  them using a different codec that offers a higher compression level. This is a time consuming operation and is often lossy, that is to say you will lose quailty.\n\nMany of the files that you have are probably divx or xvid \nthese are high compression codecs so you would not gain anything by re-encoding them.\n\nIf you had DV video from a digital camcorder however you can save a lot of space by compressing them with divx or xvid.\nbut remember you will lose quality. I would recommend using dvd authoring sotware to make dvd backups of these videos and not compressing them so that you have the highest quailty video. \n\n\nThe main point is that most video that you use has already been compressed and the only way to reduce the file size is by a loss of quailty.\n\nI would recommend you buy a dvd burner or a external hard drive   to store your files and free up space. this is  basically the only way to free up space and keep your files. (uncompressed video excluded)\n\n\nalso- when your zip or rar a compressed video file it is like zipping a file twice. you will see very little improvement if any at all.

Right click on the photo, click on properties then reduce the size of it that way, just make the numbers smaller

Did you take a movie and converted into an animated gif? If it is, there's a few ways to lower the file size.\n\n1. You can decrease the size of the gif. If it's 250x250, you can try resizing it to 200x200.\n2. You can remove frames. Instead of 12 fps(frame per second) try 10 fps.\n3. You can lower the number of colors. Gifs files store up to 256 colors on its palette.

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

The movies needs to be in the high format in order to view on your TV.  However if you only want to view it on your puter then save as MPG and windows media player will read it.  The file will be much smaller..  Or try Showbiz DVD 2 by Corel .. free trial d/l\nE

I usually use Windows Media Player. Just open it and resave it differently. Remember, making a file a smaller size often results in loss of quality.

you need to convert them so they can play on dvd, try VSO software, then you need to put them on dvd, try Clone dvd (this shinks the file, so they fit on a normal disk, the film compines are good as they do them longer and you lose the end of the film) if you have downloaded the film, the same site you will get these programs too.....good luck

Hi there!I have been told that TORRENTSPY is great for downloding movies..But you need to download BITLORD or BITTORRENT to your computer first...My friend says it's pretty simple to do,so I hope that this helps!

Use DivX or Xvid to convert the file, and you can adjust how highly compressed it will be to match the file size you want

Load the original into windows move maker(start/programs/accessories).\nSave as WMV and choose the compression that suits you.\nIt will result in very poor reproduction if you shrink it tooooooo much. \nTrial and error is the only way to see what you have as a result.

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.

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.

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

i don't think you can. \n\nits too long, too big and in the wrong format.\n\nyou can fix these things, but its a pain. here's what you have to do:\n\nget the dvd off the disk. use a dvd ripper.\n\nnow you have a folder full of files. the video is on one set of files, the audio on another, the time code on another. you have to make these into one file. i use replay converter.\n\nthen you have to make it small. import it into windows movie maker, piece it back together and resave the movie with the default wmv settings. \n\nfinally you have to cut it into 10 minute segments  or youtube won't take it.\n\nafter all of this work, youtube will just yank it before you're up the next morning for copywrite infringement.

open the picture in paint shink it (ctrl w then 20 and 20 or whatever percent you want it)  \n\nresaving the picture out of paint will make it a smaller file even if you dont shrink it\n\ngo save as... and save it as whatever and it should become a smaller file
