AMV help

[angelsinthewindow]

I'm looking for a free program that will conpress my AMVs without having to place them in Zip for WinRAR files. Anyone know where I can find it so I can put my AMVs on a website?

you may want to try a program called "Handbrake," (website) which can transcode your AMVs into something more standards-based and allow you to encode it for web streaming.

Note that this is only a transcoding program and NOT an editor. It can do some trimming off of the ends if you wish, but that's about it.

All I'm looking is to conpress files is all

If you're not looking to zip/rar them up, then transcoding is your only real option. You can't make something smaller without either putting it in some container format (zip/rar/7z) or transcoding it to be a smaller movie.

Note that "smaller movie" doesn't necessarily mean smaller in width & height, or even lower in quality. Depending on how you encoded it in the first place, transcoding it can result in smaller video file size with no or minimal loss of quality.
