Does anyone know of any good free video compression software out there? My camera takes these neat little movies but a 20 second movie ends up being 12 megs! Not really a good thing. The movies are .mov if that’s significant.
Thanks guys

You’ll have to convert the mov to avi though to follow any of the guides this site supplies.

thanks thor
I’m not too crazy about avi though, so I think I’ll wait around for a mov one. Thanks for the link though!
