    Thanks

      
      I have been reading a lot on line

      and Hand Break has been mentioned often.

      
      I am not looking to go nuts here with

      editing and such I just need to do some

      basic editing and then save the file to a

      quality format I can play in a DVD player.

      
      One fellow I know who uses Wondershare

      told me to convert the avi file to avi. and it would 

      compress it to a decent size. (yes...avi to avi)

      When I converted the 10.5gig avi file to avi in 

      Wondershare it compressed a 10.5 gig to 770 megabytes!!!!

      
      That was a loss to way too much info!!!!

      
      I'll try Handbreak tomorrow night.

      Free program called handbreak.  You will also need a
        program called vlcplayer. As handbreak uses parts of vlc.   If
        you want to be more serious www.lwks.com has a free
        version.   Your dvd player might only play mpeg2 and mpeg1.  If
        its just a basic player or older.

          Hi Gang.....

          
          I'm sure some folks here are video experts...

          
          OK I have a video camera that uses a Mini DV tape.

          
          I save the 50 minute video I took as an AVI file

          and it comes out to about 10.5 Gigabyte.

          
          I have tried many of the free on line

          convertors/movie makers and when they convert the

          file it compresses it way to much.

          
          Now I do understand that there are many file types

          codexes etc etc.

          
          When I do convert the file to something of a decent size

          such as a Dvix or Mpeg4 they will play on a computer,

          but not on a standard DVD player.

          
          I don't mind spending a few $$$ on a commercial

          editing/converting program such as one of the Corell

          products if I can find one that will let me take this

          LARGE 10.5  gig avi file and convert it to a GOOD quality

          file that I can play on a standard DVD player.

          
          (things were easier in 1970 when I was shooting 8mm film!!!!)
