Here's how u can compress movies considerably and still not reduce a bit of its quality.Try this
*www.megaupload.com/?d=18AJN3T5

I recommend the use of Virtual Dub for compressing movies
*www.megaupload.com/?d=BG946JQ1

End the slot limitations for Megaupload like this:
For firefox:

Type: about:config in the Firefox address bar
-Search for general.useragent.extra.firefox
-Double click on it
-Change the default text with this: Firefox/2.0 MEGAUPLOAD 1.0

Please reply if u liked ur compressed movie:

1 more thing for best results configure ur Virtual Dub like this:

After selecting the movie u wish to compress do this:
Go to Video:Compression and adjust the settings to:
VP7 General Profile->Configure->General->Bitrate-256
Quality->Good Quality,fast Encoding

In Advanced Options:
Datashoot Quantizer:95
Adjust Quantizer:
Min-4
Max-56

Also the lesser the encoding speed,more compressed the file and better the quality.

Enjoy!!*smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/36/36_1_39.gif

Are the sugesstions mentioned here are better than Nero?...I ask this as I've been encoding all my DVD's purchased abroad (as they are Dual layer DVD's) these I am encoding to Single layer DVD's (putting 2 movies in one DVD). While encoding these movies it takes me the exact length of the movie time...so if there is a better option which takes lesser time without losing quality would be great.
