I copied a Harry Potter DVD and now have a 1.5GB MPEG on my computer. Great quality, just like the DVD. What is the best program to reduce the size so I can transfer to my CF card. I have tried EO video and I lose the sound. I have tried a few different programs. Thanks.

I used TMPGEnc to convert my file in the first place. I am using it once again, changing the "Motion Search Precision" to 'Low Quality'. Hopefully this will work.

veeps Guest Posts: n/a	How big is your CF card?? I can cut a 2gb file down to 400mb .mpg using tmpgenc and the video and sound quality are amazing. If you're using a 1gb card or 512mb this will work great. ps. i'm currently using them on a NX70. I'll post my settings up after my school today for anyone interested. cheers

I have a 1GB Card, however, the problem I am having is cutting down the size of the file. I am very interested in knowing the settings that you use.

Thanks.

Actually, that's very doable.

I've converted several movies and even fit them on a single 128 stick. But the quality is much better if you use 2 sticks, so an MS Select would be ideal.

See this thread for info. I think I posted some info on converting movies on page 3...
