Here’s a bleg. I have two *.AVI-format video files. Please don’t ask how I

got them. I was fooling around 4-5 yrs ago with some stuff for capturing

VHS tape images. The stuff is long gone, I have no video capability on my

desktop (unless there’s something in Windows Me that I don’t know about–&

even if there is, based on my 2 yr experience with WinMe, it probably

doesn’t work). Anyhoo, these files are HUMONGOUS–around 120 Mb each.

Don’t ask me why, I forget. Now, I want to put these two video clips up on

my web site. Obviously, they’re going to need to be compressed for me to do

that. WAY compressed. So… how do I compress them? Without spending a

fortune (I don’t mind spending a BIT), or wasting hours frigging around with

software designed by propellor-heads for propellor-heads? Any help much

appreciated. Please respond to [email protected] with subject line VIDEO

COMPRESSION.
