Hi everyone, i'm facing a problem which is the size of the video/animation that i export is too big(4Gb i want to convert to 1Gb),
because i need to do 4 animation and save it into a dvd, and now one animation already took 4GB.

For more information, actually after i complete the animation i need to link it with one software call MATLAB,thus i only can accept AVI file.

So my question is, how to compress a 4GB AVI video to 1 GB AVI video?
Thansk a lot guys =)

You can export your AS movie using an AVI codec other than Full Frames (Uncompressed). It'll come out much smaller.

Alternatively, open your 4GB AVI in the free VirtualDub (http://www.virtualdub.org), then use Video > Compression to set the preferred codec, then choose File > Save as AVI... giving the file a new name.

In both cases, experiment with the different codecs to see what gives the best quality/file size ratio.
