Some tricks to reduce the filesize: resize the video reduce the framerate reduce the audio bitrate (or remove it completely if it's not important) experiment with different video codecs. I kind of like xvid. If you want to use a command-line utility, you could try mencoder, ffmpeg, or ffmpeg2theora. I'm not enough of an expert to give you a good "recipe", though. -Rob -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
