any video encoder offers compresion, encoding in XVID and such.
Try using old VirtualDub or VirtualDubMod.

Can i ask why u wanna lower its size ?
If u plan to use this video in further editing (in Vegas for example) leave it as it is.

As far as i know about videos try using some good converters (fast ones) i dont know which ones i use only for my psp and iphone/ipad and i got 2 in 1 ..

I suggest dont resize them you lose quality

dont do that,if your making your video in Sony Vegas or After Effects finish the video in high quality (720p is good quality)and then render it in Format Factory to make it in less size,my DotA - Evolution is 300 megabites 720p,but when I used Format Factory it went from 300 MB to 248 MB,thats a good 52 MB difference

omfg deutsche ;d since there is nothing about encoding, i guess this program sucks, try HD xvid 720p. U will preserve quality, but u will encounter mass problems with further editing.

Im using Format factory - good tool its enough to choose avi and from your avi it makes smaller avi with same resolution and FPS

and if you working in vegas you can switch quality of viewer nice is on preview auto and in AAE you can set the same on how quality and how much frames it skip or you can make from this large stuff a proxy - its rendering attached to the original large file but has lower res and is smaller but is on the original file so you work with proxy but when you want render you switch original file back on

heres a tutorial about proxies by VC http://www.videocopilot.net/tutorial/proxies_and_workflow_tips/
