*takes the video files* *puts it in Windows Media Encoder*
*sets VBR Compression Quality 100%* *
waits a minute*
*result: same quality, file size is: 7.57mb*

Well, i think that is why we should go on Windows Media...

Ok, i've spent some time on that divx...
With VBR 100% quality compression using Windows Media i have obtained these results (same video quality as original file):

WM7 Codec (Useful for older PCs): 7,66mb

WM8 Codec (Takes a bit more resources): 6,76mb

Source divx video (you can find it on this thread): 15,6 mb

Windows Media Encoder is FREE, and licensing is required only for hardware devices, wich isn't exactly what we are doing here...

I will send the output files to anyone will ask, so that you will see...

Is there sound in that DivX?

I couldn't hear anything, but I may be missing some codec.

--------
A couple days ago, I rendered an ani, which is almost identical to Darkages (:o ).
I rendered out 180 .BMPs and then made an uncompressed .AVI out of them.

I have now compressed them with XviD. I used 2-pass compression, which allows me set an approcimate file size.
1.5 Mbs version

3 Mb version

I also made one (not online) with 1-pass Quality and set quality to 100 and the file size after compression was ~6.3 Mb.
Oh, and no sound was used.
