    I ripped a series fr vcd to upload it to my friend but the problem is its abt 600MB...how do i make it abt half the size? i've changed the ext fr .DAT to .avi.
    I've googled it but im gettin more confuse.

    I dont think you can get much compression off video files, youll save a bit but not much, no way to 50%

    files that can be compressed a lot are things like text files

    By "changed" I assumed you just renamed the orignal dat file to avi thats probably why its that big (~600mb/cd yeah ??)

    have you actually tried converting it from dat to avi (xvid or divx), the smallest format is rmvb

    You get a 15 day trial of "Divx Converter" when you download the free divx package:

    http://www.divx.com/divx/windows/

    that should be more than enough time to convert your video into divx and yes you can also obtain the full version illegally as well -nono , but that is a totally different story.

    Convert to rmvb format using winavi. When I converted rmvb to vob it is about 7 times larger, I guess converting vob to rmvb should be the same ie 7 times smaller.

    Converted "Heavenly IN Laws" rmvb (140mb) to CDV (420mb) using WinAVI. You could reduce the size by a 3rd by using rmvb format.

    thats cause VOB is DVD format, so it will increase the size of the file

    You can always convert to formats such as AVI/rmvb/etc and get a smaller file size, however you sacrifice quality, resolution, etc

    Prob just need to mess around with a converter to get use to it and find a setting you like
