I’ve got a video that i was able to compress from 130mb to 8.5mb once before but I needed to edit it some and now that I’ve come to compress it again (4 months later) I forgot how I compressed it so small. All I can get is 30mb as the smallest and it needs to be streamed from a site.

Anyone know how to really compress a video?

I rendered in premier pro 1.5, used sorenson3 compression. 100mb  
Then took it into quicktime pro 7 and did the same but it only came down to 30mb. size is 340x240px

I’ve tried changing the sound quality, the size and image quality but i cant get much better compression.

Any ideas?
