How do I reduce the file size of Video footage?

[PhilMorrison]

Right I've got some video footage that I won't to make internet friendly, I have no probs with gettin it onto the comp, but the lowest I can seem to get it is 45mb for 1 minute on mpeg2 (low quality)352X288pal 15fps:( Can Anybody recommend a Div friendly DivX conversion program? or something else? I'm sure I've seen reasonable 1 min video's on the net no more than 20mb:confused:

If you are familiar with divx then try Gordian Knott..supposed to be simple, but there are so many options, its a fookin nightmare:eek:

I personally like easydivx..which is a really nice way of converting DVD to DivX.

Try these sites

And look for advice on the sites from a guy called Nicky Page..he seems to know what he's on about!

Thanks :) I'm after something simple to convert some footage I took today on the DV Cam, into Divx, I don't suppose a specific program comes to mind for that does it?
