when one has existing avi, mpg, mpeg files what tool do folks use to make them smaller... I'm not talking about re-encoding them, just trying to make 'em smaller as you can do to existing *.doc or *.txt files with zip... specifically, I've got a bunch of 708, 720, 730 megabyte avi files [and a few mpg] that I'm trying to get under 700mb... -- Ray

Different from ..txt and .doc there is almost no redundancy left in those video files. Try RAR with maximum compression settings and you may get a couple of MB. Regards, Marco
